I'm almost certain the MSSQL 6.5 was a port of Sybase 9.* or 10.*
And the Sybase drivers will connect with it.

Sybase has released its 11.5 server as freeware for linux. I've only
found it in RPM form but the libs are in there.
Should be on the Sybase site (http://www.sybase.com/) or RedHat site
(http://www.redhat.com/) somewhere.

Heh, that's funny.

The FreeTDS drivers are at http://metalab.unc.edu/freetds/index.html

Sure is. M$ bought that old Sybase kernel and added almost nothing on the
