There are interoperability bugs in some versions of Orbix 2 which
prevent it talking to other ORBs. I'm not sure if 2.3c has the bugs.
On thing is that you may find you have to use the
-ORBverifyObjectExistsAndType 0 command line option to tell omniORB
not to use locate requests.

Other than that, if you transfer the IOR for the Orbix server to
omniORB, it should work.

Again, give omniORB the IOR of the Orbix naming service, or give Orbix
the IOR of the omniORB naming service, and it should work.

Cheers,

Duncan.
