Database access for EMBOSS

[Claude Bonnard]

Hello,

It is not very surprising that SRS is the  best mode  for a fast access to the
sequence databases from EMBOSS. As I understood, the URL mode allows the access
to a SINGLE sequence and would not support the "USA" standard (wild card query)
as SRS mode does.

If it is the case, is there a solution when the SRS server is NOT on the same
machine, but on a machine which is dedicated to SRS? I have in mind a rsh type
of request and I would like to know if someone experience this type of problem
and could help me in solving that.

Thanks a lot

Regards
Claude
