You ought to be OK with Pro, even when you upgrade your app to C/S (and I
seriously suggest you do that), as long as you stick with either Interbase
or ODBC (with say SQL server). If you want SQL links to SyBase, Oracle,
etc, you will need the C/S version. I don't recommend using SQL Links for
SQL server.

With Citrix, you can use dial up and configure it to reconnect (without
losing your session) when the line drops out. Quite good really.

With YOUR particular situation, its OK. It also keeps your costs down, as
you only need to install your application *once* at the server. You can
also configure WinFrame so that you can dial in to do remote support. The
client machines don't need super CPUs, even a lowly 286 will do!
