One solution if your application requires a server, is to use a "black
box", and I don't mean one of those cool looking black IBMs (I have
one). You get a machine, it could run Linux to make it cost
attractive. Sell the machine as part of the application package. It
comes with Interbase or Firebird preinstalled, with the databases
already set up, all the client needs to do, is give it an IP address,
and plug it into their network.
