Because with PC-Anywhere, all that has to pass over the lines is the refreshment of the screens, the actual work being done on the local PC-communication server. If we install the server, the actual file accesses will have to be processed over the communication lines. Another client of mine has a configuration like that, (but there is just a server at the client site), running at 256kb, and believe me it is the limit. Thanks, Marc
