Good thought Nikos. I'd not considered that. 

I was pretty sure I'd installed all my copies of Ingres using ISO88591
so I just did a quick check. As it turns out the Windows machine where
I tried to create the vnode is using WIN1252, but the Linux machines are
all using ISO88591. That windows machine has never had a problem
connecting in the past in spite of the different character set--which is
why I've not noticed the difference before I suppose.

I just installed another copy of 11.2 on a second Linux box and I
can't get the two 11.2 installations to talk to each other. I can
connect to the remote name server but that's all.
