In practice, did anybody try or use SQL database access over 9.6 kbit/s line ? I mean, using TCP/IP and PPP as transport level ? What is the kind of speed you get ? Any experience with other baud rates over WAN, like 56..64 kbit/s ? For comparison: I tried X-protocol over 9.6 kbps, and I can say it worked in theory and as an example, but in *practice*, everything is so slow that very few people would want to use it every day.
