Marden...thin pipes do have their limits ICA is optimized to assist in speeding the data transfer. There are limits to dialup connections.
Citrix and Terminal server are also being used in fast LAN/WAN environments and you can gain many benefits in both environments.

This does not dictate a true thin client mode of operation. You can still have your programs of your selection running local on your PC...like MS OFFICE or your word processor office suite of preference...whatever meets our processing needs.

Unlike the example you mentioned TANDEM non-stop. Citrix does not require special programming for it's environment...off the shelf PC software can be used in the server and shared with many users.

The servers can interface with large databases on other platforms or local to the servers.

The only data that is sent between the PC and the servers is screen images and keystrokes,mouse clicks...less data traffic in many cases than shipping raw data to the PC to be processed locally.
