how to make unix client to communicate with informix

--openmail-part-0023a5db-00000002 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; name="how" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello everybody, Our customer is running informix 5. They want to make an C-application on an unix box, which would connect to informix 5 as client/server. = They said that Informix told them an year ago that it's not possible. This sounds very strange. = I know that they would need Star on the informix-server but what kind of= connectivity-product they need for unix-client? Is there INET for unix or what?
