We have also developed a POS system (we're placed in Denmark).

We have some 100+ customers.
Some run standalone and others client - server based solution.

One of our customer has a DB Server which has 1,5 Gb RAM, FB 1.03, 1
SCSI Harddrive, 1200 MHz CPU.

In the house some 15+ clients connects.

From "outside" some 25+ clients connects via a Windows Terminal
Server.

This runs perfectly.
They have some 5000 - 150000 transactions a day.

Some other of our clients uses Citrix instaed of Windows Terminal
Server.

It all runs perfectly.

In the 3 years we have been using this new appl. we have only had 3
DB corruptions, which all could be solved by backup - restore.
