Colin,
is that also possible with w2k-terminalserver ? So can i make two or three
different configurations inside the environment-tab of informix setnet32 ,
save them and use both at the same time ?

Best regards
Daniel

Depends how does your application connect. I have never seen an
application
that uses the setnet settings apart from the demo stuff that comes with
Connect.

E.g. with jdbc you put all the info in the connection string. I guess
odbc is the same..
