One of my clients is switching to NT Server, from Netware. Their network consultant asked if VFP is "truly client server based, or just a regular Windows app with SQL capability". He asked because he couldn't decide whether to recommend the client buy 2 gateway PC's running pcANYWHERE to use as dail-up gateway computers - or use the RAS feature in NT - and connect directly (without a gateway).
He said the RAS connection would be painfuly slow unless VFP is "truly client server". I called Microsoft and encountered one of their less-than-expert tech support guys who just said to map a drive to the RAS connection and install my EXE on the workstation so only the data goes across the modem line - not the EXE. Since I thought that sounded like a "work around" and not a true solution, I thought I'd ask if anyone can offer some words of experience.
Thank you!
