Another addition to the list of problems with db_vista III is its
lack of networking (i.e., client/server communications). This is 
fine if you are operating in a homogeneous network where you can
NFS mount your data disk on every host from which you wish to access 
the data base. For a heterogeneous network, however, you are basically
screwed. 

Can anyone offer any insight into db_vista as to how it does
its IPC?
