Hi Ken,

We have a Linux application that connects to MSSQL database through ODBC.
We want somebody to help in case some problem occurs with the FreeTDS driver.
I don't know if this person will be hired or will provide support through 
some sort of contract.
For now we are researching the possibility for commercial support.
I saw on the web site [1] that Brian Bruns is offering support contracts.

BR,
Hristo
