Re: Informix-net over Token-ring

Carlos, We have been working with Marine Corps for years, and token-ring is Marine Corps standard. We started with Windows 3.11 and then Windows 95. We did have a small number of computers that requires ethernet. But we never have any problem with Informix-net over Token-ring. We will start woring with Windows NT soon. We did receive -932 errors before, but that was due to a missing line in the services file where OnLine service is defined. Chao Y. Din Senior Computer Scientist Computer Science Corp.
