I don't know about I-Net for OS/2 but would also look into ODBC drivers. You would need server based drivers to avoide I-Net. There are several of these, but few have OS/2 support. May be you could get some of the Windows clients to run in a Windows box on OS/2? You might check out www.openlinksw.com and www.vision.sco.com for this. Alternatives that *may* also have OS/2 clients are: Visigenic Open Channel. See www.visigenic.com Intersolv's DataDirect SequeLink. See http://www.intersolv.com/ You would of course also need ODBC aware software under OS/2. It might be much easier to switch to Windows 95/NT where these things are all easily awailable from all the above sources and many others.
