I too, have a friend (honest!) that has a similar interest.  

My friend is interested in having a DBaseIII/Clipper application
running on a 'central' PC/AT being accessed by 2 or 3 other users
via dumb terminals.  Simultaneous access to a single DB (only 1 user
writing -- all others reading, printing reports, graphs, etc.) is the
key feature needed.

Please post responses to the net (I think many people may be interested)
or E-mail to me if you have some information and dont agree that it should
be posted.
