The recognized vendors for VIA protocol with SQL Server 2000 are Giaganet and ServerNetII. An application can use the value returned by ViaRecognizedVendors to specify the preferred vendor using the ViaVendor property.
VIA is only compatible with the Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000 operating systems. For more information about VIA, see Communication Components.
