I have an old Postgres server (v6.3) running on a machine which I do not
control and cannot update.

I have a new machine which came with Postgres 7.0.2, which I do control.

I need to be able to talk to the v6.3 server from the new machine.

Can this be done?  When I try I get:

newMachine$ psql -h oldMachine myDatabase
psql: Unsupported frontend protocol.

Please reply to: rwk@americom.com

Thanks,
Dick
