i can verify that ASE 12 works using FreeTDS 0.52.
i connected from a BeOS PC and also from a Solaris 2.51 server.
ASE 12.0 was running on an ultra-sparc on Solaris 2.7

i didn't explicity configure it to use tds 4.2 - i just configured it as per 
normal with the exception of the prefix flag which i set to my home 
directory.
Be sure that the SYBASE environment variable is set. And yes SQSH is a very 
good test of the install.
In fact i have a FreeTDS and SQSH bundle for BeOS which works very well.
cheers
peter
