I would use remote desktop services or the citrix equivalent. That way the only screenshots go over the internet and is encrypted, minimizing bandwidth. With this, the server will need a decent upload speed and the users have a decent download speed.
I would definitely not try to run the compiled app over the internet!! I know RBTI has been playing with a server-client version of Rbase but have not heard of a compiled-server-client version. That would be awesome.

Database itself seems to be running well. We will use a network specialist to help with all the hookups and security issues with combinations of cable/DSL/wireless Internet. The monthly service charges will not be cheap. Is there anything in particular related to R:Base we should be very aware of? Looked through the User group archive. VPN has speed problems compared to terminal servers so I am looking at things like using variables in views to limit rows transmitted to the specific rows needed. To get into our system a password is required and a computer’s name must be registered in the database. Using compiled 9.1 64 (0103 updates) which drops unregistered users immediately. Our plan is to go slow, use my home and our IT guy’s home as the initial connections, then move from there. Any suggestions appreciated.
