InterClient is a relic of InterBase and is not up to date for use with
Firebird. Firebird has its own Java driver - Jaybird - which is at the
release candidate stage. If you want to use Java for connectivity,
connect with the Jaybird project members by joining this list:

firebird-java-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
(using the email address which you want to use for posting list messages).
