Hi Gerard. I just looked up the speed of ISDN.
Normal: 128kps
Broadband: 2mbps
The best way to determine this is to test it under normal network load (with all the other apps using it). I would say that 128kbps is most definitely far too slow and won't be usuable. 2mbps should be fast enough, depending what else is using the connection.
Other options if the line is too slow.
- use remote control like pcanywhere (need extra pcs for remote users)
- use citrix (like pcanywhere but the sessions run off of the remote server). Can be quite expensive
- use a backend server like sql server and only send the necessary data over the wire. You will have to rewrite your app.
- create a server in VFP that runs on NT server to respond to data requests
Each of these options requires time and/or money to implement.
Others may have more/better ideas.
