Thanks for the input. We have approximately between 10 and 15 remote
employees accessing our TERMINAL at any time. They use the basic Office
package, Word, Excel, Outlook, the Shared Fax service of SBS and a web based
propietary medical claims database system that resides on another internal
member server. I may need to do some more investigating to determine
whether it really is our remotes that are generating all the traffic, but
they are the only ones complaining right now.

What you should have done is purchase a Firewall Appliance that allows
for it to be a PPTP/VPN server or to allow users to authenticate with it
first - then you can allow RDP in to the T/S from their authenticated
firewall session.

We NEVER expose terminal server directly to the interet and have almost
100 users on a Dual Xeon 2.8ghz, 4GB RAM, Win 2003 Std Sp2 using Office
2003 and a nasty database application along with IE/Fire Fox - runs
smooth and we never get external traffic.

We also never let the users setup the firewall authentication and the
user/pwd is controlled by the IT Dept and the user is completely
different than their Windows user/password.
