Installation Problem

Hi,
I am a systems engineer working for Acucobol in the UK. I am in a
somewhat frustrating situation! I have a licenced copy of On-line
Dynamic Server which I want to use to demonstrate connectivity
from COBOL applications to Informix, for our customers.
I have installed the database, but cannot get it to start. Informix UK
will not talk to me, since the product was obtained in the USA and
Informix USA will not talk to me, since I am in the UK. I'm not about
to buy a support contract (we don't sell Informix, we don't use
Informix, we just want to show our customers that Informix will
work with our products).
So, to my problem:
Online D.S. version 7.22.UC3
SCO Unix Openserver release 5.
When I run 'oninit -i', or choose startup from 'onmonitor' I get a
message 'Fatal error in shared memory creation'.
The 'online.log' file has the lines
shmat: [EINVAL][22]:shared memory base address illegal
using 0x80080000, needs 0x80400000
mt_shm_init:can't create resident segment
I've done a certain amount of tinkering with the SHMBASE
parameter in etc/onconfig but without success.
Having jumped through more hoops than I am ever likely to
endure again with Informix support I give up on them. Can anyone
help?
Thanks and with best regards
