Using intranet systems with mapinfo like mapextreme or mapxsite and an
operating system like qnx (www.qnx.com) which provide tcp/ip connection with
modem or LAN and a web browser.. u can use your old 386 or 486 machine with
4 MB ram and no hardisk (only floppy disk drive) it will work very
efficent...
if u wanna use other tools like ofiice word and excel u have to ask to
support of qnx..
Have a nice day

>Greetings list,

>My company is considering moving to a thin client model with a server
>residing off site that all of our various Midwest USA branches could access
>via fast (DSL or cable modem) connection through an ISP. We tested this
>scenario today by hitting MiPro and map data on a server from thin clients
>across a 256K DSL ISP connection. Results were less than impressive. The
>test server was dual processor PIII 500 MHz with 512 MB RAM. Connection to
>thin clients was over 256K DSL line through an internet service provider.
>MapInfo was MI4.5.2. Anyone have any luck with this type of scenario - any
>pointers or suggestions from you network junkies out there?

>Thanks
