Let me clarify. :)  As of PHP 4.3 the --with-mssql configure option
supports freetds on linux (from what I have found out).  I have used the
mssql function calls for some time with freetds using the --with-sybase
configure option.  Is there any difference between the two configure
options?  I couldn't find anything on the PHP lists but everyone is
recommending --with-mssql with freetds now.
