Does more than you need. I have made a test running FreeBSD on one machine, accessing data on 2 others running Unixware. All running postgres the files have 42,000 records each. The machines are connected via slip at 9.600 baud. I have made a "c" program (easy do code) that reads one record from each machine in an specified order, (say one code and the other name). The system proved very well. That is my experience... Sergio de Almeida Lenzi.
