Citrix isn't "big honking".. Have you ever used it? We have an App server that publishes various apps (as in, *just* the app, not the entire desktop) and desktops. It runs fine locally and remotely as well. In fact, until recenly I used it to do work in the office as well as at home. We have clients running on low spec PC's over a standard internet connection to our data centre. They also use published apps.

Ignoring the technicalities of the protocol, I've used Citrix, RDP and VNC over similarly specc's connections (PC ANywhere too) and Citrix is by far the nicest overall option.

Heck, I used to use a P2 450 with 256MB RAM running Windows 2000 SP4 to connect to the Citrix server.
