OK, it may be hopeless, but I'll try again, this time with no smileys.

Q. Does FreeTDS work with XYZ?

A.  If XYZ is capable of calling a library written in C, has TCP/IP  
networking, an ANSI C compiler, and adequate build tools available,[1]  
and has a reason to function AS A CLIENT to database servers from  
Microsoft or Sybase, the answer is yes.  For everything else, the  
answer is no.


[1] Less common toolchains may require additional build support.
