SUMMARY
=======
Windows 95 and Windows NT desktops normally include a clock on the Taskbar.
However, the Terminal Server Client (whether 16-bit or 32-bit) does not show the
clock by default. The clock is turned off because screen updates occur every
minute, resulting in network traffic.
If the clock is enabled on the Client, the Terminal Server computer will push a
total frame of 113 bytes to the client. The client will acknowledge with a total
frame of 60 bytes. Administrators wanting to enable the Taskbar clock function
should factor an additional bandwidth usage of 173 bytes (1384 bits) for each
minute for each client.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To enable the clock, perform the following steps:
1. Right-click on the Taskbar and select Properties.
2. Select the Show Clock check box.
