Well there was a problem with my driver, so I reinstalled the unixodbc
driver and rebuild freeTDS. It helps me a step further, but I'm not there
yet:

tsql -S MYDBNAME -U MYUID -P MYPWD
This works perfect.

However:
isql -v MYDBNAME MYUID MYPWD
This gives me:
[unixODBC]Client unable to establish connection
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

I guess this should work first before my own program will work. However I
have no clue why the isql command doesn't work.
Here's my odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini:

::::::::::::::
odbc.ini
::::::::::::::
[MYDBNAME ]
Driver          = TDS
Description     = ODBC connection via FreeTDS
Trace           = No
Servername      = MYDBNAME
Database        = MYDBNAME
::::::::::::::
odbcinst.ini

[TDS]

CPTimeout               =
CPReuse         =
FileUsage               = 1
UsageCount = 1
