I vote for Patrick's idea of allowing the end user to remote into a machine where the SQL resides.
This would eliminate a lot of potential issues....wish I had thought of that first!!! I third this idea. Using screen would be a good idea as well.
This reminds me a project I worked on last century were we had people direct dialing our facility over modems to use a custom DB front end presented using Citrix. One of the big challenges was dropped calls. Persistence is your friend under these circumstances. At least the end users don't lose work.
