Hi!
I've been writing the interface via postgre-apache-php to use on the
internet. However, the "older" office, is very rural--no internet
connection. Telephone is about it. The application I've written would demand
almost constant telphone connection to the server for the front-office to
input/request data. Unfortunately, the offices are long distance from each
other. (And I'd hate to think what the cost of a special line would be).
Thanks,
ajw
