You could try talking to Visionware who are just in the process of launching SQL-retriever 3.0. It provides ODBC between PCs to Informix on UNIX without needing INET and is MUCH cheaper than INET + Informix' own ODBC (when it gets out). I have not got hold of it yet (my distributor keeps promising an evaluation copy) but it sounds like the business. Visionware are based in the UK and have a US Office in Menlo Park, CA. My contact is Charles Hirst.
