I love Informix. But now, I don't understand the "client/connection" anymore...

Hello, Untill yesterday, working with Delphi 2/3 (on the client side), it was fine. Yesterday's steps: a-have the server (UNIX) with network products(I have 7.14 no problem the connection side is already there). OK! b-Get Informix-Connect, set the parameters with "SET-NET 32". OK c-Test the connection with I-Login. OK! d-Configure DELPHI BDE( a layer for the development envir.) OK Done. I have client/server connection Today's steps (I want to use JDBC): a-JDBC works with ODBC, so the first step is to install an ODBC driver. After the Installation of Intersolv DataDirect, I configure the ODBC driver. The ODBC configuration tells me that I need..."INFORMIX-NET" 7.1 or higher??? (I already had my Informix-Connect/ESQL/C 7.2 installed) Question A: What is Informix-Net?? Question B: On my client I have Informix-Connect/ESQL/C 7.2 what else do I need? Question C: On the Informix Web server, Informix-Connect is not there anymore. Do I need to get Informix-CLI? Question D: Since Informix-CLI is an ODBC driver, I could purchase CLI or any other ODBC from any vendor? Question E: Looking at documentation(on the Web) of Informix-CLI, it requires Informix-Net (at least wersion 5.x) But what is Informix-NET??? Sorry for the "many" questions, but I thought that once I had Informix-Connect I could get any ODBC driver (or CLI since it is an ODBC) and Run.....
