I've taken your journey. I thought I'd just call up and get a password, since I buy tech support from them, and I explicitly stated I wanted access to the TechInfo Center. I received a login and password and joyfully sprang to the Web, only to be frustrated. Then I read the small print on something they sent in that package: TechInfo/TechTips is "available with full-view InformixLink", which is definitely not free: full view w/10 hrs $400 full view w/50 hrs $1200 add'l hrs: 10 $300 50 $1100 100 $2000. They couldn't tell me this over the phone, I guess...
