For client/server then two things are very important...

1. don't bring your fmx's down the leased line - have them local to the client (which also induces deployment headaches)
2. you really need to code with WAN in mind (simple things like a select in a POST-query can kill you)...

Alternatively look at running web-based forms which could possibly be more efficient - we're doing that over dial-up with reasonable results..
