I agree on not an extra layer :)

What I just wanted to say that I think the InterServer should be part of the
original install - not a seperate one. I think it's part of the whole RDBMS
package, with Java connectivity (which should belong to the basic
package these days) - alright, not to the core engine, I choose my words a
little clumsy there...
