This is SQL*Net ver.1 connect string. I don't think you can connect to SQL*Net1 listener with Oracle8 client, you would need SQL*Net1 client. BTW, SQL*Net1 has been unsupported for a lonng time now. Check if there is SQL*Net ver.2 instaled on your AIX - if not then install it and configure the listener.
