Get the latest ODBC driver for Windows (should be on your local mirror in
~/pub/odbc/versions, for example
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/db/www.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/versions/ , which is
my closest one )
The create a connection to your "webdatabase" using a system DSN and stream
your data through it by connecting to the tables in Access and creating
updatequeries.
Of course, you must be able to connect to the PostgreSQL Port on the remote
machie, otherwise, it might become quite tricky.

HTH,
Stefan
