   Replace mysql_* to mssql_* in your code. 
   FreeTDS doesn't use the IP adress as the first argument of 
_connect/_pconnect . You should create $SYBASE/interface file, for 
example:
-------------
MYTESTSERVER
   query tcp ether address.private.com 5000

OTHERTESTSERVER
   query tcp ether 10.21.1.71 5000
-------------
 then call $db=mssql_connect("OTHERTESTSERVER","user",password")

Hope this help.
