We're using Terminal Server at Electroimpact -- much easier to manage the
Vantage client on that one machine than on all the other clients.
Accounting/Inspection have the Vantage client installed to give them a
longer Progress Timeout (90 minutes) whereas the others use the Terminal
Server timeout (15 minutes). Since our Terminal Server is directly connected
at gigabit speed to the Vantage Server, bypassing the network, it's actually
much faster but they don't want to give up their longer timeout.
We'll also have a Data Collection client in the UK using a Remote Desktop
Connection to a Citrix Server without a timeout.
Vantage 8 is supposed to have user-controlled timeouts.
