Has there been any testing on how fast MS CRM 3.0 runs over dial-up?  Got a 
client with remote sales staff and they will only ever access CRM twice a day 
over dial-up and they are concerned about the speed.  I also wanted to 
confirm that they will need to set up a VPN to ensure security.

My guess is that this will pose some problems.  I know the v3.- client is 
better tuned, but assuming you are talking about CRM fro Outlook in Offline 
mode synching over a dialup.  The amount of data being uploaded won't be too 
bad, but the process of going back offline will probably be slow.  Also, 
having a flaky dial-up connection to contend with during this process could 
cause additional problems with disconnects.

A VPN is a must to get this to work.  I would also recommend getting in 
touch with MBS to verify the support issues that this may cause.
