I played around with it a few years ago but never got it to work. IIRC, the TCP/IP drivers were geared towards NT clients and not Netware. |

If you are staying with Netware there's no reason not to just stick with IPX for the DOS stations. |
and OES on Linux does not support IPX/SPX.

Netware can handle both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX without problems and I'm pretty sure the Pervasive Btrieve server can as well. |

Do you mean NT servers? Yes, I believe the requestor was called BREQNT or something similar. I |
TCP/IP was not compatible with Netware Btrieve.

We want to move to OES on Linux rather than the classic Netware kernel and OES on Linux does not support IPX/SPX. I know almost nothing about Linux but I've been wanting to look into it. |
Pervasive SQL on Linux would be strictly SQL -- no transactional access. If
I'm wrong on that, maybe BREQNT will work if the Linux DOS client drivers
support TCP/IP.

Netware can handle both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX without problems and I'm pretty sure the Pervasive Btrieve server can as well. On the classic Netware kernel. Unless I'm wrong... From Netware 4 on I think Btrieve can handle both protocols at the same |
time but I know it supports both separately. On Netware it's always been
the same. There is the Btrieve NLM with supporting NLMs and running on top
of that their SQL NLMs.
