Thanks for the info. I was trying to find out what else I need to a WIN-OS2 Netware client to get hooked up with Oracle running on AIX. We do have the SQL*Net for Windows bundle, my understanding is that we need SQL*Net for OS/2 , the SPX adaptor for OS/2 and the SQL*VDM product that you mentioned?? Am I correct??

Thanks,
