I use VPN to connect to networks at some of my clients. At dial-up modem speeds, starting R:Base on my computer and then connecting to a database on the network at the other end of the VPN connection can be very slow. For example if there is a 100 MB database on their network, and I map the network folder to a drive on my computer, and then at the R> prompt change to that drive and type CONNECT dbname, it can take 5 minutes before the R> prompt returns. Other commands that follow don't all have that same delay, but there will be many long delays in a typically set of R:Base commands. However, if I am connected at high-speed, for example a 256kbps symetrical DSL line, it seems only a little slower than actually having my computer plugged in to a port on their network. Bill
