I don't think that will work either.  I'm almost positive that for Sybase
and MSSQL the only valid server name is the alias from the interfaces file.
It's the interfaces file that determines the actual hostname and port
number.

This differs from most other database clients (like MySQL for example) where
you specify the host.domain and port number in the connect statement.

>From what you've said, this _should_ work.

The only other suggestions I have involve upgrading FreeTDS to 0.52 (or a
snapshot from CVS) and/or PHP (I don't think you mentioned what version you
had).  Perhaps it's one of those that's causing the problem.
