Hi Mike,

I can't offer any experience at the moment, but I'm in the process of 
porting a Delphi/Paradox system to a Delphi/ODBC/Postgresql system and
I will be testing it over our 128K link between Leeds and Doncaster.

B.T.W. the port itself was actually a doddle, I simply installed
PostOSBC, set up a user DSN and changed the Database name in the Delphi
Project.

I'm fairly late in the testing cycle at the moment, and should be going
live within the next 2 to 3 weeks.

If anyone else has any comments I'd be very interested in them,
otherwise I'll let you know how I get on when I go live.
