Michael Burstin is correct - the TLI format is only supported on Solaris
and DEC/Tru-64 (IIRC). Client Library is capable of reading both formats
(on both platforms), but DB-Library only reads the platform specific
format, so for Linux you need to create a "normal" interfaces file:

TEST_LN
        query tcp ether 194.203.210.11 1400
        master tcp ether 194.203.210.11 1400
