We would like to use the L200 (as we have some already) and the L230 units over a WAN but need some idea of bandwidth requirements for planning and budgeting purposes.

Is there any official statement form nComputing on these requirements ?

If anyone has done this before I would really appreciate any details they can provide.

I have tested a L200 over a ADSL connection, both locations have 1.5MB / 512kbps DOWN/UP and it worked fine.

All comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks in advance !

I do this with an L200 for my home office.  ADSL at home CABLE at work.  Unfortunately for my exact application my ping times are upwards of 90.  I still use it and I think it works well.  Two things you do not want to run remotely is sound and video.  Also, you will have dropped sessions more often then a LAN, so you do not want panicky people using it at the other end.  Also, the USB port should not have a thumbdrive over 512MB put in it.  I don't know if it locks up the other sessions on the computer because I have never done remote access and local at the same time.  But, you cannot access anything on the remote station while the computer reads the flash drive.

If you were going to use multiple remote sites I would think the server site would have to have at least the 1MB upstream ADSL.    The actual bandwith is quite low,  unfortunately that is on the old forum so I cannot remember exactly what it is.  Keeping the bandwidth down is one of the reasons they only put PS2 ports on these units instead of USB for keyboards and mice.

Thanks for the advice hjkcga, it was nice to know how your setup performs.

I will keep posting my experiences on this page as i test more.
