Hi Brad,

Two questions:

a) Did you tried in a slow link?
b) For what you are saying, you are using some kind of 'lock wait'
- What happens if a client disconnects in the middle of the transaction? It
will take some time to FB find out and...

I think the document that Jason talk about (you can look at it at
www.ibobjects.com) is a good reference point for 'auditable series': it
refers to lots of probabilities that could happen in diferent environments.
Maybe you are using the same approach (the variants could be various) and we
are talking about the same thing here.

I just want to remember everybody that the discussion 'auditable series' is
out off this topic. ;)
