My approach is to copy the raw DB files (rsync via cron) and use the pxlib 
utilities and a Perl script to fix up the result to import them into MySQL. 
All new code (written as a LAMP app) accesses the MySQL tables. At present 
the new code is query-only so I don't need to push anything back into the 
Paradox tables. If I needed that, I'd probably set up the Paradox web 
server to accept the data via HTTP from the LAMP app.
