Hi Eric,
 
I've seen some good posts from others (Eero and others) so I won't address their
information because I agree with it.
 
What I did want to bring forward is the problem with NS/VT relative to the
client.  Many of our users had noticed performance problems using NS/VT over
their old DTC connections.  In testing we found a 19.2K DTC connection out
performed the NS/VT almost every time from a PC.
 
HOWEVER, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT, accessing the same 3000 on the same subnet using
vt3k on the our workstations the NS/VT performance was equal or slightly better
than the DTC performance.
 
So remember in your research to take this into consideration...
 
Cheers,
