We use Windows NT SP 5 as the Servers with Interbase 5.6 as the IB Servers
We user the FreeUDF.dll , I will have to lookup who it came from and the
client software
is compiled in Delphi 3, Some sites has Delphi 5 Server Software running on
the servers.
The Network Protocols are mainly TCP/IP in remote cases not this one
forinstance NetBeui.

There is basically 2 versions of the Software one only Delphi 3 app and
other 3 and 5 compbined.
We use Acer machines here in South Africa , but are looking at going over
to DELL

I hope this can help
