> Has anyone gotten the Linux Sybase OpenClient to work?

  I didn't have any problems about 3 months ago.  Installed Linux emulation
and then just ran isql.  My problem was trying to build applications
(especially Perl DBD) based on the Linux Sybase library and it got to be
too much of a headache.

  You might want to take a look at FreeTDS, which is evolving very rapidly,
and should allow you to connect natively from FreeBSD.  You can also proxy
your requests through a Linux machine if you are using Perl as the new
DBD/DBI library has proxy capabilities.
