isql/sperform/sacego and IDS 7.31

Our machine is Solaris 2.8, running IDS 7.31.UD6 and we are using the
tools (isql, ACE & PERFORM) 7.20.UE1. I'm aware these are old
versions, our previous attempts to use later versions of the tools
came unstuck on new 'features' which had developed somewhere along the
way.

The problem is using the tools with a TCP connection to the database:
/etc/services:
v6new 1532/tcp # inhouse informix
server
v6newtcp 1533/tcp # inhouse informix
server

$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts:
v6new onipcshm testhse2 v6new
v6newtcp ontlitcp testhse2 v6newtcp

from onconfig -c:
DBSERVERNAME v6new # Name of default database server
DBSERVERALIASES v6newtcp # List of alternate dbservernames

dbaccess can happily connect to v6new and v6newtcp, but attempting to
use any of the v7.20 tools against v6newtcp results in a -25572 error
- "Network driver cannot bind a name to the port."

I'm not sure if this is a subtle configuration problem, or simply that
the old version of the tools won't connect to a TCP connection, just
to shared memory. Trying to find what the latest version of I-SQL is
on the IBM web site is driving me nuts!
