i use delphi 7 and FB 2.X i have been creating client to server
projects on the internet(ADSL) i tested connection speed on the
internet it was like hell and i decided about VPN(virtual private
network.it means like you are working on local area).its not bad
like normal connection.and if you wantto work soo good your project i
think you must create it with only SQL codes.

Thanks.
