Personal Edition v6.1 (for Linux) includes "db2jdbc61-6.1.0-0.i386.rpm",
which among other things includes:
/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/bin/db2jd
/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/bin/db2jstrt
/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/java/db2java.zip
/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/java/runtime.zip
/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/lib/libdb2jdbc.so
/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/lib/libdb2sqlj.so
Which indicates both "net" and "app" jdbc driver. The installation program
allows me to choose TCP/IP, so no named pipes required. But I haven't
actually used the PE version ...

I am pretty sure the net driver does not use any native code and is a pure
java solution (what's that, "type 4"?).
