Windows 3.1 - Use Trumpet TCP/IP (at http:\\\\www.trumpet.com.au) Windows 3.11 (WfW) - Use Microsoft TCP/IP - freely available from ftp.microsoft.com or from some local Microsoft supplier. Windows95 - TCP/IP is included. Install it. DOS - (Hope not) - Buy a TCP/IP protocol from someone (FTP?). Assuming your Informix application is made for regular character based terminals you also need a terminal emulator. We haven't found anything better than the Norwegian made GLINK (sold world wide). Many shareware and commersial products are available for both Windows and DOS that should work satisfactorily. You may need help to install them properly. Function keys may be a little difficult if you don't know both the terminal emulator and Unix (termcap/terminfo).
