Hi Martin, hanks for your reply
Traffic would be minimal
Would this be the case ? Same 'data' would still have to go down the wire, No. ??

If a list of customers is required, the salaesman still has to download say 200 x names and address, in order to see them on the remote device, and surely it does not matter (from the Data movemnent volumes) wheter this is done using a Browser or through Terminal Services ?

...the application will surely be easier to use. I don't think you'll have a very good user experience with Terminal Services over GPRS...
As the app runs on the server , should'nt the experience be essentially the same, except in Terminal Services it is easier to prgram it as you are essentially programming a desktop app

Regards,
Gerard
