I have two boxes running IB6.02 and FB1.5 with no problems. I have ensured
that RB is running on antoher port (not 3050). My tools show when I am using
FB and when IB. The connection string for FB is servername/port:drive: etc.
I use the latest fbclient and gds32.dlls since they know about ports in the
connection string.
