citrix metaframe and cd-rom access?

[Jim Dryden]

Thanks a lot to everyone who replied to my questions about Citrix. Not
surprisingly, the difficulty of complex licensing scenarios 
seems to be the biggest challenge. There doesn't appear to be a lot of
competition for Citrix in this market, so the information will be very
useful as we continue evaluating the product. 


thanks again,

Jim
