If you want to access the remote tables directly you'll need to set up some sort of VLAN or other remote access connection.

Another thing you could do would be to install a query utility at each remote site. This utility would SELECT ... INTO TABLE SomeTable. The remote locations could then e-mail SomeTable.DBF to you.
