My main two problems with RDP are Cost of Terminal Services Licenses and
I don't want users to have any access to the filepro data files. Of
course they will have access to them but since they are telneting to the
server and a script starts filepro and when you exit the script telnet
logs users off so they never see a command prompt. The filepro files are
not on a share so the actual program's files are not visible to a user
unless they log on to the server console or RDP and only 2 admins have
RDP Access. It is on a Internal network behind a very good firewall and
uses nt auth for username and password on the telnet login so there is
no username or password entered. Either you have access to telnet
clients group and it works or you don't and you get access denied and no
logins are transmitted over the network in clear text. There is no
credit card processing just a bunch of database reads and writes with
some confidential data.  I believe in the past we have had a user copy
the program files off her pc and the data files off the server share so
they could steal the data but this is speculation and I can't prove it.
This should solve that problem in the future. Unless anyone has any
better ideas. I at first wanted to convert everything back over to *nix
like it was in the late 80's then in early 90's was ported over to dos.
This should fix the headache of porting to *nix and setting up virtual
server for a *nix Box. My other concern is network bandwidth. RDP Uses
more than telnet and I already have all my users reading and writing all
their files to a share on the server then I have NAS as a backup only
the server writes to and we have 2 high volume copiers that are in use a
lot digitizing a records room so the customer can get rid of about 120 5
drawer lateral files all slam full. Those copiers also scan their data
to the network shares on the file server.

I hope you aren't planning on having any kind of credit card
information.
Telnet  (unless you run telnet under ssh) is pretty much prohibited for 
PCI compliance
which you must meet if you handle credit cards.

What's wrong with RDP?
