If you have some time please look into Visionware's SQL-Retriever 3.2 For Informix. It contains a client ODBC driver for Informix, RPC based host software and the connectivity software for the client as well. The connection software allows for tcp/ip or serial(dial-up or direct connect no ppp or slip). This package does away the need for I-net on the P.C.
