I absolutely have to figure it out. I have to be able to connect to ASA
from PHP on Linux platform. What can I do to help? Should I mobilize
unixodbc people? Can  I use anything other than unixodbc to connect?
Looks like php sybase works with ASE, not ASA.  Are there any other
freetds ASA ODBC drivers I can use? (forgive me for breach of loyalty)  

Thank you for all the help

I'm sorry, Gene.  I see the problem, two problems, actually.  One is
that
odbc_connect() doesn't have access (afaict) to a TDSLOGIN structure.
Two is that the ODBC driver doesn't get the configuration information
the same way that db-lib and ct-lib do, by calling
tds_read_config_info().  I guess it re-implements that logic somewhere,
but having just spent 30 minutes looking for it, I give up.  It's just
too painful.  

The issue, we know: the ODBC driver does not set the servername field of
the login packet before connecting.  It should call tds_set_server()
when it discovers the servername, although it's not clear what "server
name"
means when freetds.conf isn't used.  

Perhaps someone more familiar with and more enthusiastic about the code
can figure out where that call should be made.  Until then, it won't
connect to ASA servers.  :-(
