My aim is not to add between Unix<->Qnx something like MS Win as a bridge.
It seems this old Sybase version can talk only with Win partner :-(
Do you think that this idea could work? :

FreeTDS (tcp) <-> QNX my daemon (tcp) -conversion between tcp and udp 
(localhost) side(udp) <-> Sybase server(udp)

Thanx for yor time.
