One of my co-workers recently saw a demo of this product in action. They
set up 5 or 6 users trying to share a 56K modem connection to a Citrix
Metaframe server. Of course, it was pretty much unusable - with 2 systems
not even making it past the "Connecting...." screen. Then they turned on
the Expand Networks box, and all the connections started moving along at
quite usable speeds after a little bit of lag time. (The box apparently has
to "learn" the type of traffic moving through it and adapt to it.) Then
they added a couple more users and things kept working!
This might be a great solution for Tarantella users too. It's not Citrix
specific... Just an intelligent network caching device that gets placed at
both ends of your link.
>Tarantella/Win4Lin combo lets you set up a Win4Lin server and serve up
>sessions - get this - even over a *dial-up* WAN link (acceptable, although
a
>little jerky). Works very well. Win4Lin will even set you up with a Temp
>user account so you can see it in action. Client can be any computer that
>runs a Browser with Java applet support (yes, it runs through the browser,
and
>you can access local filesystems, printers, etc).
