(RADIATOR) Connecting to MS SQL 2000

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jamz -

I personally have had the most success with the free version of Sybase for 
Linux (www.sybase.com) with DBI:Sybase, and configure the Sybase client to 
connect to the MSSQL host. Alternatively, you can install a copy of Radiator 
on W2000k using DBI:ODBC and then proxy from Radiator on the Linux host to 
Radiator on the W2000k host.
