You may have some luck using SyBase client libraries, AFAIK the
early MSSQL used the same protocols (was probably a port of SyBase)
Search for sometihing called cbt (I think there is/was even a project
to develop free sybase client libs for linux)
Your other alternative is to try running DOS clients (if there are
such) inside DOSEMU on linux and create an interface for them.
Probably not very effective nor easy.
Or just write to Microsoft and demand client libraries for Linux ;)
Or perhaps they have client libs or command line client for SCO or
Unixware or Solaris that would run with IBCS.
