Hi Martin,

Do you have any advice, information, or links on connecting and capturing data from the local serial com ports while the application is running on Terminal server? I am unsure if it can even be done and hope that I am wrong. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

In Citrix it is very easy to add several servers and they load-balance themselves on their own. In the case I remember now, they have two Citrix Servers with a Gb each one serving up to 40/45 users each one, plus another one for the SQL Server (I don't use DBFs).
