Yes and no.

First, the UNIX product and the NT product are entirely separate and 
distinct products.  They do not have the same underlying code.   And even 
if they did, NT is "little endian" and AIX is "big endian" so they would 
pass data that is backward to each other.   You cannot mix NT with 
anything other than Windows (such as Windows 2000).

But you can intermix  Solaris and AIX, which have identical function code 
and identical byte-ordering.  You can have an AIX server and a Solaris 
client, or vice-versa.  Notice that Linux does not participate at all.

        Subject:        [nv-l] NetView Client

 

NetView 7.1.2 on AIX 4.3.3.10

We want to setup a NetView client.    Can we intermix operating systems?

i.e. AIX and a solaris client    or AIX and an NT client?
