I have another newbie question for the interface group:

I have postgreSQL running on a Linux box and am trying to connect to it =
from a Windows 95 client using JDBC.

I have the postgresql JDBC driver set up on the client, but can't figure =
out what the connect string should be to access the databases on the =
Linux server.  I've scoured the postgresql docs for an example but =
haven't found anything.  I'm using the JDBCTest1_03 test suite to test =
the connection.

The url I'm using is jdbc:postgresql:linux_server.template1 where =
linux_server is the host name for the Linux box.  Is this right?

Thanks in advance for your help!
