I posted last week about Sybase not supporting UNIX servers to MS-DOS clients. An individual from Sybase responded that Sybase DOES support UNIX servers to DOS clients. The local Sybase people tell me that in fact they do not, and are planning to provide that support in the second quarter of 1991. Another individual (from Ashton-Tate) indicated that if using PC-NFS, it is possible for a UNIX server to support a DOS client. What's the story folks? I've kept the names of individuals out of this for everyone's protection. IS ANYONE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS? If no one is, then I am interested in developing a named pipes to TCP socket protocol converter. I imagine that the most difficult part is knowing when to close the connection. -- ************************************************* * Brian Jay Gould - Professional Brain-stormer * *************************************************

Sybase has a db-lib product that allows the dos tcp/ip nodes to communicate to unix and other db servers to communicate over sockets.. Check with sybase at emeryville.. we have some joint app notes with them.. +------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+ | |\/\/\/| | manoj goel | | | | "Hey Dude, Don't have a cow!" | Product Marketing | | | (o)(o) - Bart | 408 473 8369 | | | _) | 408 433 0775 fax | | | ,___| --------------------------------------------+-------------------+ | | / InterNet: manoj@novell.COM | /____\ USmail: 2222 Trade Zone Blvd., San Jose, CA 95131
