You need ODBC drivers installed on your server.  You set them up using your
Windows interface, then add your DSN through the CF administrator.  We used
to use the Merant drivers for Informix, but I think they were bought out.
OpenLink has Informix drivers.  http://www.openlinksw.com/

While I've never done this, I imagine there must be an ODBC driver
available somewhere.  You should then be able to make the connection via
ODBC Socket.
That said, you're always going to be better off with a native driver.  I
can't imagine why connectivity for the non-MS database engines *wasn't*
included in the Pro edition.  Perhaps one of the Macromedia worthies
here can enlighten us...
