This is not very difficult to do. Using TCP/IP you would dial in to the remote server the same as you do for your ISP provider. Your user ID and password will log you into NT. You would best be served by using SQL Server on the NT box rather that fox tables. SQL Server will retrieve only small data sets (depending on how you program)

Define all your data access as remote views and setup an ODBC connection on each remote machine. You can even do this on setup by having a .reg file for the ODBC information as part of the install.
