Actualy i'm not yet fully understand multithreading, especially the
multithread type on RemoteDataModule. I'm using them to connect my
3-tier application. I Set Multiple Instance and Single Threading
Model. What is this meant? Is my server application is multithreaded,
means every client application connection will create one thread or
will only create single thread for all connection?
