They should all talk to each other. Remember nearly all PCs talk sockets to Informix and they can still connect to Suns. Just ignore the 'tcp type' and set the boxes up as per the TFM and it should just work - as if by magic Paul Watson # WFSoftware Ltd # It said it needed Win95 Tel: +44 1436 674729 # or better Fax: +44 1436 678693 # so I used Unix www.wfsoftware.com/informix # -----Original Message----- From: Erik A.

We have an HP-UX 11.00 K570 (HP9000) server with ifmx 7.3(?) running on it. We have downloaded and installed the client software on: RedHat Linux 6.2 Sun Solaris 7 Sun OS 2.6 It appears that the Sun client cannot talk anything but onsoctli It appears that the HP-UX server cannot atlk anything but onsoctcp It appears that RedHat has no qualms whatsoever talking to the HP-UX socket. Are we doing something wrong? Where can I find information on getting these different platforms to communicate properly in Informix? Thank you.
