I just did. I hosted the DB files on my old 266 mHz Beige G3 running 
OS9 and tried to access the DB from two clients on my OSX machine... 
Worked just fine...

So I assume that as long as the DB Files are hosted on a non Unix 
machine, the old fashioned open/Close trick using the error number 
check should work.
