[nfbcs] Citrix

[Doug Lee]

Citrix is a remote-control system. JAWS can work with it but must run
on both the server and your workstation. If things can be configured
so your workstation always connects to a specific server, JAWS only
needs to be loaded on that server. Otherwise it would need to be
loaded on all of them.

JAWS only needs to run on the server when you connect though, not
for everyone.  The server can be set up to launch JAWS when you
connect and run a particular desktop or application.

Freedom Scientific should be able to help you with the setup for this.
You will also need to work with your IT department to accomplish the
server side of the setup. Any custom scripts, besides what comes with
JAWS already, would need to be loaded on the server, not on your
workstation. You will also need a JAWS license on your workstation
copy that supports remote access. I believe this costs about $200.00
over the price of JAWS itself. The server JAWS does not need a license
at all, so your company does not have to buy an extra copy of JAWS for
this. The server JAWS will authorize itself through your workstation
copy when you connect.

Hope this helps.

The last time I had any exposure to citrix jaws couldn't do anything 
inside it or with it.  The only way you might get access would be if 
those links were put on a web page a windows browser could access but 
even then if the applications themselves were citrix applications it 
would be pointless to attempt windows access to them.
