That can't possibly be right, Rob, unless you are talking about a
different WTS than mine. The WTS I am referring to is the Citrix metaframe
software that allows multiple users to run programs remotely as if they
are using the Windows server locally. A kind of thin client set-up. In
effect, the clients can be on any hardware that is capable of
communicating with the Windows NT or XP server. eg. Linux, Windows 95,
etc.

I know WTS can handle at least 40 users on a single server from the
preliminary tests carried out but I would like to know the upper limits
and any performance bottlenecks. I know a project that has already
purchased two ML570R NT Servers with 200 Citrix software licences.
Hardware and software costs are not a primary concern but the maximum
number of users per server is. The project is aiming to support up to
1,500 users running on the minimum number of Windows servers. Each server
can be whatever specifications necessary to support the number.
