[plug] network design question

[Andrew Howell]

Hi Jon,

tsclient is a linux Terminal Services client (it uses rdesktop which you
can use by itself as well)

I have a customer with several linux desktops using it to access a
Terminal Server which they run MYOB on.

You would still need Terminal Services CALS and CALs for whatever
software you were running on the Terminal Server for the clients.

These will need to access applications on a W2K T/S server for their application (windows based). The remote users will access the company network via RDP.  This of course will be going through a VPN using Cisco routers and Cisco Clients.
