Have you actually tried this?  I've run the SQL server before (not across a 
modem), and it was trying to recalculate value after value after value when 
I went to exit.  Even with the processing being done server-side, I can't 
imagine that the client would perform well waiting for call after call.  It 
sounds nice in theory, but I think you would need to have the GNUCash 
engine on the server side as well if you really wanted decent performance 
across a 56k modem.  Of course, I could be dead wrong . . .

Personally, I'm still hoping that Bill gets the GUIless GNUCash running. 
I'd love to be able to use a command line or curses interface across SSH 
from anywhere in the world.  (Bandwidth?!  Bandwidth!?  We don't need no 
stinking bandwidth!)
