Hi...

	Are you tired of working on top of TCP/IP ??  Here is a good news
from our Informix SQL Access Group. My RDA (Remote Database Access, ISO/IEC
DP 9579-1) is now about to work. Currently, it is running on top of SunLink OSI
("pure" OSI stack) and on top of TCP/IP with RFC 1006 both as a loopback mode 
on my SPARCstation 1.

	Initially, I embedded it into ISODE-6.0 (== 50 MB, a public domain 
software which was developed under the contract from the U.S. Defense Advanced 
Research Projects Agency and the U.S. Air Force).

	Right now, my RDA is of a size with about 5 MB. It will be much bigger
than now. Still I need a long way to go for the final product. The source codes
are strictly confidential. We need to have someone starts working on the portion
of mapping SQL to RDA services so that our RDA can interface with ESQL/C.
We also need to have someone who can work RDA with me plus a testing guy as soon
as possible. 

	I hope we can replace our product with this OSI and TCP/IP-based
product in the near future. Thanks.
