Newbie to Frame Relay.
Our company have 56k Frame Relay setup to different sites. For past few months we had lot of complains about speed. So, our company contacted with 3rd party company to analyze network. So, Finally my company decided going with Citrix Metaframe 1.8, over Increasing Bandwidth. But i have being very skeptical weather this will solve bandwidth issues....

ANY ADVISE.. ...


THANKYOU IN ADVANCE>..........

It will help as a "properly" installed and configured Citrix server is a great thing.. BUT.. do not attempt this without some formal training. Termserver and Citrix are very different then a normal NT or PC Anywhere configuration. Citrix claims that 28.8 is that is needed. Not entirely true.. The way local printing works is that a port redirector will send the print que TO the server across the link and then BACK to the workstation to be printed. You know what happens when you send a 50 page WORD fiel across a link? Or a power point show with pics? and so on.. Citrix requires serious planning and testing. Citrix excells at a few things.. like running a IPX based application across the wire instead of trying to route IPX and the SAPs that go with it.
