Hi,

I have a problem and Google is no help. I need to connect to a Sybase server 
with FreeTDS, but there is no internal documentation on the Sybase server 
version, and I don't have access to the DB. I only have the host, port, db 
and credentials. 
This connection attempt is to debug perl-DBD-Sybase (using FreeTDS) 
connectivity.

On trying connecting to the server, I get:

[tools@lookingglass src]$ tsql -H sl7ncappdv12.savvis.lab -p 4100  -U netcool 
-P netcool
locale is "en_US.UTF-8"
locale charset is "UTF-8"
using default charset "UTF-8"
Msg 20000 (severity 0, state 0) from COL_P_1:
        "No error"
Error 20002 (severity 9):
        Adaptive Server connection failed
There was a problem connecting to the server


Telnet works:
[tools@lookingglass src]$ telnet sl7ncappdv12.savvis.lab 4100
Trying 10.12.194.107...
Connected to sl7ncappdv12.savvis.lab.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

The freetds  log is:

Summary     : Implementation of the TDS (Tabular DataStream) protocol
Description :
FreeTDS is a project to document and implement the TDS (Tabular
DataStream) protocol. TDS is used by Sybase(TM) and Microsoft(TM) for
client to database server communications. FreeTDS includes call
level interfaces for DB-Lib, CT-Lib, and ODBC.

The only info about this error seems to be 
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/advanced/help.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc00462.1540/reference/messages/msgnum20000.html
 , which gives me nothing.

Now I'm at a loss and don't know what to do. Any pointers?
