(shhh!) Certainly my preferred solution, In several small biz I work with (3-6 people), the data and my app end up on a Linux box in their office that provides them with Samba and Apache intranet and other useful functions, as well as proving a robust ssh server inside their network that can send log files and let me know when their external IP address changes. A small workgroup server is a fairly inexpensive capital outlay for most businesses. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4v+w-K-KxD_=9dw80vwnnb_9sf02q57e8gs_53ygpd...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
