I haven't done exactly what you are asking about, but...
You will need the client-side ODBC setup on your NT box. None of the
things labeled "ODBC" are relevant for the server-side machine, since
once the data is on the wire you are talking directly with the server.
So get the Win ODBC .dll package (I think it is on the Postgres ftp
site, and *should* be mentioned somewhere on the web site), install it,
configure it, and start running. The Postgres docs have some info on
these steps.
Good luck.
