I've got

$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts

ol_wgs oltlitcp localhost sqlturbo
ol_wgs_shm olipcshm localhost srv_agent

/etc/services

sqlturbo 1526/tcp
srv_agent 1530/tcp

netstat -an|grep 1526
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.1526 *.* CLOSED
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.1526 *.* LISTEN

no error messages on online.log
$INFORMIXSERVER on client is ol_wgs

I have SCO SQL retriever working but just can't get the Informix Client ODBC to work.
I get a -908 error
I cannot telnet the listening port either.

I would advise yo to change the tcp connection settings in you sqlhosts file.

Don't use localhost for tcp connections. Use the hostname or ip address.
This is the hostname where the poll thread will listen.

Change this and you will be able to connect

If I change that will I need to just restart informix or tcp/ip aswell?
