Middleware element (InterServer) must run on the same physical host as
Firebird. InterServer was tested by Borland with Windows, Linux and
Solaris, but probably one can build it for few more platforms.

InterClient is pure Java code that speaks some protocol with
InterServer. It should run everywhere where Java is available.
