while I am here because I am enhancing and converting FROM dBase TO
Firebird, and I really like what I see and experience, this statement
needs a bit of correction. I have been writing successful network
applications with dBase for more than 10 years, and did not have one
case of corruption in my own network.

Those cases I saw in other applications ALWAYS were because of very
bad mistakes in database- and applicationdesign, and those 'designers'
would surely be capable to crash a Firebird server with the twist of
one finger...
