(apologies if this is a partial repeat, but Netscape barf'd on me last attempt and I don't know if it died or not before sending). Thanks to all who wrote, Neal <neal@metronet.com> and Cheryl. If you have I 7.1se it includes the networking kit, but it only does the Informix7 protocols, so you need to convert them... some of the executables are provided but the client side are not bundled. Thus to interoperate Informix on Solaris2 with an NT system, we need the NT software. Basically, its 75 GB pounds for the run-time license for Win-NT Informix-NET products... and 235 for the developers version. Its called ESQL/Informix-NET for WindowsNT. Got to specify the processor and media too. Oh, and don't forget the 12% "assurance" (thats the mandatory charge, for maintenance etc I think, seems a bit of a cheat to me). I shall post a followup when/if something works.
