Very neat. Could you explain ADSL and how fast it is?

FYI - Rick Strahl did something similar at FoxTeach in Toronto and accessing data from his machine in I believe Hawaii. He was accessing VFP tables though. Similar performance, the initial connection was slow but data access after that was pretty good.
