Using MSSQLServer 7.0 Beta 3 I have successfully connected with Sybase's 
isql distributed with their 4.9 release (isql -v = DB-Lib 4.6).

select @@version returns -
 Microsoft SQL Server  7.00 - 7.00.517 (Intel X86)

        Standard version on Windows NT


Using sybperl 2.09 with the dynamic libraries distributed with Sybase's 
version 11 I cannot connect using either Sybase::DBlib or Sybase::CTlib.  
In the rumor mill I've heard that dblib may be just a wrapper around ctlib. 
 Thinking about this a moment though doesn't make sense because I can 
connect to Sybase servers using Sybase::DBlib without libct.so, and the 
other CT-Library shared libraries.  Perhaps if I dbsetversion() to an older 
version the Sybase::DBlib would connect to MS7...

Good luck with freetds!  What a great idea!
