Pascal,

>I'm considering this scenario but I don't know how to do it using RAS dial. How can a client dialed in using RAS communicate with a VFP application (and so exchange data, etc ...) keeping performance in mind ...

Shis scenario has nothing to do with RAS dial. RAS should make the network transparent, so it should be the same as running this in a Local network (LAN). The advantage of this scenario is that you minimize networktrafic and improve performance on the WAN.

>I was wondering if I could use commtools (I have some experience with it) instead but this seems much work, and as this is a poitn_to_point dialup I loose the benefits of using RAS.
BTW : Does anyone know the difference in transfert speed using Zmodem under commtools and simpmly using copy using RAS ???

I've no experiance with this approach, but i strongly feel that RAS is the way to go. It provides much more flexibility, i think....
