I have the same setup. I have a server (11.5) running on Solaris 7,
and I have clients running on linux (RH6.1).

Here's the interface file entry for the server, on Solaris:

kiruna
	master tli tcp /dev/tcp \x00021004c0a800020000000000000000
	query tli tcp /dev/tcp \x00021004c0a800020000000000000000

And here's the interfaces file on linux:

kiruna
        query tcp ether kiruna 4100
        master tcp ether kiruna 4100


the "kiruna" host is at 192.168.0.2

When you say that isql works on linux with the "tli" form of the
interfaces file are you 100% sure that you are really running the
linux version of isql and that you aren't logged in to a solaris box
by mistake? (sounds stupid I know, but I've been known to shutdown the 
wrong machine by being logged in remotely and not noticing it...)

Also - for the "tcp" version of the interfaces file you need to make
sure that the first character of the line with the query is a TAB...
