Axiant Thin Client performance over a WAN

[VISSERS,WILBERT (HP-NewZealand,ex1)]

To the Axiant team at Cognos, and others with experience of WAN
implementations.  Can you help with these two related questions:   

(1) Across a WAN, are response-times for field-by-field editing similar
between Character-mode Powerhouse terminal deployments, and Thin Client
Axiant deployments.     

(2) If Thin-Client does perform similarly, I assume this means that a CITRIX
server is NOT required.   A CITRIX server being required for fat client
deployments.

The reason for the questiuon is that our current HP3000 application is
accessed from 21 remote locations using terminal emulators across a WAN,
and we need guidance about performance issues should we migrate from the
central HP3000 server to a central Windows2000 server.   

many thanks
