We are investigating setting up a portable ticket sales station that we can take to various events to sell tickets (we are partnering with a local retailer and are looking to have a presence in their store on Black Friday as our first event). Has anyone done something like this before?
What we're thinking about doing is using a couple of laptops, a Boca printer, and wireless broadband, then connecting back to our production environment using GoToMyPC/PCAnywhere/Remote Desktop. How much bandwidth would we need to support something like this? Would wireless broadband be able to support this?
Any comments or suggestions are welcome. I'll be happy to share my experiences with this as well.....
Thanks in advance.

We've done this before at remote locations using wireless, a laptop and a boca printer. The wireless was a business class DSL as far as bandwidth. We have a Tessitura terminal server, so they used VPN and RDP to connect.
I've used GoToMyPC for other things and found a wee bit of a lag. If you aren't dealing with high, fast volume than it should be fine. If you are... I might hesitate to go that way. Others might have had better experiences, but it is definitely not as fast for me as VPN/RDP.
