Hi,
I am a Mac literate person who knows only a little about
networking or databases. 

I need to network three to five macs running a 
4th Dimension application. Three machines are
located in separate regions so I would have to 
connect them via telephone lines; the others would
be connected by cable.

My questions are these:

1)	How does 4th Dimension make use of modems to 
	share a distributed database?

	Does it contain routines to implement networking
	over phone lines, or do I need a bridge? 
	(Technical information regarding the 
	purchase, installation and use of bridges 
	would be welcome).

2)	Is there recommended networking software
	to use with 4th Dimension (Appletalk, TOPS...)?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Please respond via e-mail since I don't read this
newsgroup very often.
