The biggest piece of advice I can give you before hand is that if you
do decide to go with terminals and put a DTC at the other sight,
you will have to turn on bridging on the routers.  (okay, I know there
are work arounds using DTC Manager on each end but I don't want
to get into it).

The obvious advantages are:
1.      PC's are more versatile than terminals
2.      If done right the connection is much faster.

Disadvantages  are:
1.      cost (pc's are more expensive)
2.      set up time (especially true if you don't do much/any network
        connections now).

Hope this helps,
