remote performance suggestions needed

[Robert Laing <rlaing@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

7.0.2 FP2 clients and servers, iSeries v5r4 current on PTF's.

We recently opened remote access via the Notes client for one of our 
Domino servers for our sales people.  I've had several complaints from 
them that access via the Notes client is "as slow as dialup".  The 
majority of those complaining are connecting via DSL or Cable from their 
home office.  Performance for our internal people is fine.

Any suggestions on performance tuning specifically for remote access ?  Or 
redbooks that contain anything on the subject ?  Admittedly this could be 
a networking issue and not a Domino/iSeries issue but I want to rule out 
Domino/iSeries as the bottleneck.

This box is being pushed a little bit on memory, would memory constraints 
affect remote access more than internal access ?

Thanks in advance,

Bob
