How to access TEMP tables using SE 5.0x and I-NET

Big problem for us. We are using Informix 5.0x SE engine and I-NET and TOOLS. Our 4gl programs use TEMP tables that need to be accessed while in different databases. When we deployed I-NET to distribute the processing, we can no longer see the temp tables over databases that span multiple machines. For instance: Machine A has a database named "test" , Machine B has a database named "test2". The DBPATH is setup correctly to see both databases and the 4GL programs can access both databases correctly. However, if we create a TEMP table on "test" and switch to "test2" and try to select from that TEMP table, we get the "table does not exist in database" error. If both databases are on the same machine, the above works fine. Informix support has told us that SE 5.0x should support this. Has anyone else done this or know if it is indeed possible? Or, alternatively, what is the best workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA,
