I am trying to find a way to connect to a Sybase SQL Server from a
bsdi system (http://www.bsdi.com).  Sybase does not have the Open Client
client software for bsdi.  They say there is not enough customer
demand.  

Does anyone know of a way to connect Sybase from bsdi?

Sybase has the Open Client for SCO, and bsdi has a sco emulator.  But
there is no guarantee that it would work.  It is pretty expensive for
something that may not work and Sybase will not support.  

Does anyone know of someone even trying the SCO Open Client on bsdi?
