Duilio, for dynamic adsl , i currently use www.dyndns.org,works great
and they have several clients (windows and linux).
Your connect string would look like:
yoursite.com:/localpath/databasename.gdb

If you have a fixed address :
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:localpath/databasename.gdb

Note that firebird doesn´t encrypt and/or compress data.
For such, zebedee is a great product.
