I would like to thank all for responding to my question, no matter how vague. 
Secondly, I would like to apologize for being so vague, this is my first time 
to present a question.

That being said, I believe you have answered my question with the \\ VS \

To be more precise, I'm trying to query MS_SQL 2000 that has several 
incidents (complete databases setups for testing on the same phyiscal box, 
and with the same IP, and port) so, normally in the freetds.conf or interface 
you would setup the structure as shown below:

        demoacctv
        query tcp 4.2 172.19.5.18 1433

Mulitple incidents:
                  demoacctv\acct2
                  query tcp 4.2 172.19.5.18 1433

                  demoacctv\acct3
                  query tcp 4.2 172.19.5.18 1433

                  demoacctv\acct4
                  query tcp 4.2 172.19.5.18 1433

etc...

Unix or Linux does not work with a backslash the same way as a 
Windows environment, Linux just ignores the backslash. So, with the 
information you have provided previously, would I setup the interface file
as shown below?

                  demoacctv\\acct4
                  query tcp 4.2 172.19.5.18 1433

I agree with others that your question is very vague.  But maybe it's
just an escaping issue, i.e. you have to use \\ instead of \ on the
command line because of shell interpretation.
