Wayne. I would not ever suggest using anything but FMS to do this. Using FileMaker in peer to peer is always risky for more reason then I can count.
Robert hosts FileMaker at Tronics and I manage the FileMaker part of that server. The pricing is very competitive and you get all the advantages of FMP server on none of the really disastrous possibilities when you use FileMaker in peer to peer. As long as they have a decent pipe then its will really fly. Its saves a lot of money over the cost of the mini and extra license and gives them access even if they are not in the office as long as they have FileMaker on their machine. I have been doing this for more years then I like to count and unless I have a single user client I always have them buy server or if not I move them to hosting.
