Hello!

I use an MS SQL 6.5 Server at work here, and would like to get my RedHat 8
box to connect to it to do my queries and soforth that my Windows
partition does.  I read thru the tuturial in the user handbook on creating
the freetds.conf and such, however I dont think that I am using a tcp
connection.  It appears that I am using piped connections.  How do I do
this?  Or am I not even close?

I use the following:
[aschott@system11 etc]$ /usr/local/freetds/bin/tsql -H amerivoice4 -p 1433
-U saPassword:
There was a problem connecting to the server
[aschott@system11 etc]$ telnet amerivoice4 1433
Trying 206.190.6.248...
telnet: connect to address 206.190.6.248: Connection refused
[aschott@system11 etc]$

So, that is why I feel that the tcp is not right.  On the Windows box next
to me, I see that in the connection properties in the ODBC manager,
\amerivoice4\pipe\sql\query as the pipe name, and it is using pipes not
tcp/ip.

Is there a good resource that perhaps I missed when looking for info?
