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.

Steve,
The Boston Ballet does this with a AT&T broadband card, laptop and Boca, using a VPN to remote desktop into a terminal server with appropriate Tessitura setup/access. Seems to work fine, other than the Boca being quite a load to carry around.
We also have skipped the Boca at times and offered customers Print-at-Home, Mail or Will Call.
