We're using Terminal Services over RDP extensively at Schaller-Crestland.
Everything so far has worked except for Flash (the plugin, not the drive) but I
am working on updating that.
One thing I would like to know is how to control the screens at multiple
computers with one session, thereby giving either demonstrations or
presentations to the entire school or a group of workstations simultaneously. I
can control each user's desktop seperately, and I can set up the computer to
shut each person's programs down or keep them active, allow thm to login from
different workstations, log them off manually, take over individual sessions,
etc. It works well in my experience.

I have a video from Interop from them. It looks REALLY good. I do have an
L200 here but I have not had time to take it out of the box.
Are you looking at the solution where you use 1 host to connect up to 6
screens via Cat5 cable and a PCI card in the host, or the Connect 30 via the
Ethernet device?
If you use the PCI card version (6 extra via cat5) you can map specific USB
ports on the host to specific thin clients. The Ethernet version has a
integrated USB port.
The basics the way I understand the operation. It is not so much a traditional
"Thin Client". The best way I can describe it relates to Windows XP. When you
have an XP system configured to use the Icon Login (1 icon for each user) you
have the ability to "Log Off/Switch Users". When I logoff/Switch users all the
programs I had open continue to run. Then my wife logs in and she only sees
her desktop and her programs that are running. My understanding is that is how
the N-Computing model works only the hardware client give you're a dedicated
monitor/keyboard/mouse for each logged in user.
Let me see if I can get the N-Computing video on-line today or early next week.

Any experience out there with this product?
www.Ncomputing.com
Any other "multi-user"computimg products out there that people are using?
How about software issues? Any thing that doesn't work? I know flash drives
are an issue.
We are looking into this for allowing more computer access in elementary
classrooms.
Any feedback or comments are welcome.
