That's what I was afraid of.
Unfortunately, the client site I'm at, there's no way I'd be able to do a
network capture.
Also, if it's not a feature in the latest stable release of FreeTDS, I
wouldn't be able to implement it anyway.
Guess we'll have to find a way to use the Sybase libraries instead when we
need to connect to a Sybase server within the shell and perl scripts.
