Hi, netters! I am skilled (IMHO :-) ) with Informix for Unix, but I haven't got any experience with Novell Netware. I know that there is OnLine version 4.1 only available as NLM. Probably, I will be asked to integrate NetWare 3.11 and Informix server. My idea is: there are some UNIXes with support of IPX/SPX protocol (e.g. SCO for 486, AIX for IBM RS6000). I'm going to connect this Unix server to NetWare and to install Informix. So, is it possible to add following entry to the /etc/services file: sqlexec 1525/ipx or sqlexec 1525/spx ? My other questions are: Is my idea above good? Is it bad? What is the best way to integrate NetWare 3.11 and Informix/Unix? Has somebody got any experience with NetWare-Informix/Unix integration? Thanks in advance. Bye. --------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Yu.
