Performance and stability will suck bigtime. Your options are replication, Terminal
Server/Citrix or SQL Server. Possibly MSDE dpeneding on the number of users.

Or put a new server at the new location. That'll likely be the cheapest option.
Note that a client was running 15 users on a Pentium 400 NT 4.0 server which was the
only server for about 50 office users. So you don't need the latest and greatest
here.
