Only **IF** it is a Dialect 1 database. Let's not assume the old IB server
was IB 5 or lower. A dialect 1 client connecting to a dialect 3 database
will be a problem (if it can even connect at all).

Actually, the gotchas will depend most on the SQL language used by the
applications, not on components, etc. used. Firebird is a lot more fussy
about legal SQL than InterBase is, especially ambiguity in joins.
