There are a lot of ways to get access to a remote machine, as we keep discussing here. You're going to need access to update and debug and troubleshoot anyway.
Rick says WebConnect will work either way: http://www.west-wind.com/wwThreads/default_frames.asp?Thread=3ZB14MOLH&MsgId=3ZC0F45AM I'd suggest you use the framework and tools you're familiar with. If those require a DBC, then remote access becomes a requirement for the application, not the other way around. I always use a DBC. And a framework. But that's just me. I support clients who have everything from ported FoxBASE apps to every framework you've ever heard of (except FoxExpress, strangely) and home-grown 'frameworks.' The home-grown ones are more expensive to the client, hands-down. Let's talk "tabs versus spaces" next. We haven't done that go-round in a long time :) Or which server is "best." :) Happy Friday, folks!
