Citrix would probably be the best way to go. But, depending on how many users are going to be connecting remotely you might try using a remote control solution like PCAnywhere. With PCAnywhere the remote user would connect to a PC local to your app via the WAN (Usually via IPX). The drawback here, of course, is that you will need one computer per remote user. You will have to look at the pricing to determine how many users will be the break-even point between PCAnywhere and Citrix. If money is no object, citrix is the way to go. Not only are there cost savings because the number of computers used on the host side, but upgrade and bug problems are eliminated because the remote side can simply be dummy terminals. They don't even need HD's.
