You should understand that if your software use gds32.dll and this
is gds32.dll from IB6, you can't use server/port notation: IB6 don't
recognise it.
So, you must either make your software to use fbclient.dll or
replace gds32.dll. No choice. But you don't need to worry - gds32.dll
from FB will work ok (via TCP/IP) with IB6 server.
