You might also look into using VNC. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
It's free. I have used a couple of time over DSL connections with good luck. I use it in my network lab all the time.

R:base is not a client server database, it is workstation based which means that you can put your database in a central location on a shared hard drive, but when you access and manipulate the data, it is being done from the workstation and all of the processing is done at the workstation, so all the data needed to do the process has to be passed to the workstation. When you do this over a slow connection, it is extremly slow because of all the data that needs to be passed. I currently have 7 dedicated PC Anywhere machines that people use to access my database. I am in the process of converting eveything to Tango and using a web server to access everything, but it is a big project and takes time and money to complete. There are several other remote access methods to use besides PC Anywhere like Terminal server. The point is, you really don't want to connect to your database over a slow WAN, you want to put a dedicated workstation on the fast network with your database and do remote control of that workstation so that only the screen and keyboard data needs to be sent across the wan.
