Hi Scott,

Interbase should start itself automatically! No user intervention is
required. You can check that the product is functioning by the following:

1. Log on to RaQ via Telnet
2. se the "su -" command to open a root session
3. change folder to "/opt/interbase/bin"
4. run "./isql"
5. type "connect /opt/interbase/examples/employees.gdb;"

You should now be successfully connected to an example Interbase database!
Tada.

If you want to create a DSN for Interbase so that you can connect through
ASP, you will require a patch from Chili!Soft which adds the necessary
driver to the RaQ.

The URL for this is:

Good luck!
