Whilst from my limited personal experience Citrix copes with high latency
(PSTN dial-up) reasonably well I doubt it would deal with the 400-600 ms
rtt

Fwiw, I have seen one customer who has a citrix application and constantly
whinges about latency. this on a WAN consisting of 2 x 34 Mb leased lines,
some gigabit LANs and 155mb/s ATM circuits. Typical rtt = 12ms. I
personally
have no doubt their issues lay elsewhere but ......
