I telecommute twice a week from home to my office, through VPN. With my laptop, I find that if I'm wired into my home network, I have zero issues. When I am using my wireless, after about 6 hours or so I notice a big slowdown, and I have to disconnect/reconnect, and all is back to normal. This leads me to believe the internet connection is fine, maybe it's a hardware/driver issue, or memory? Obviously your situation sounds more severe than this, and I just live with the "bug" I have.

<br>><br>> A good majority of my work day is spent working on a remote windows<br>> system via terminal server. I mostly log in using rdesktop on Linux,<br>> but I often use Remote Desktop Connection w/in XP, or log in via a
<br>> webpage using an Active X type app for the interface.<br>><br>> Issues: The connection hangs often - some days more than others. This<br>> can be very frustrating to say the least. There are probably some
<br>> latency issues, but there must be more than that though to cause me this<br>> many issues.<br>><br>> Are there issues going via the internet and can the connection just<br>> eventually get messed up - causing me to hang? Or do I need a
<br>> connection with very little if any lag?<br>><br>> Can I get a dedicated line that will get rid of the lag and be more<br>> reliable? I am certain there are more people out there in this<br>> situation ... so ... I am hoping for some suggestions and insight.
