Sybase VAX server
Q: How do I connect a NeXT front end to a VAX Sybase SQL server?
A: In order to run a Sybase front end on a Unix platform against a
Sybase SQL Server on a DEC VAX machine, you need to have Wollongong
networking capability. Sybase currently provides a "Wollongong
Server" on DEC VAX. However, with the release of the VMS 4.1 SQL
Server, the special server will be discontinued, and its function
of connectivity with Unix front ends via Wollongong will be included
in the standard release.
This new server will offer "mix and match" connectivity to front
dnds via both DECnet and TCP/IP, and can connect to front ends on
different networks at the same time. TCP/IP products supported are:
Wollongong's WIN/TCP, Excelan's Multinet, Excelan's LAN Server, and
Novell Netware. Contact Sybase for information concerning the availability
of the 4.1 version of SQL Server.
