Yeah, neither have I; I'm getting some experienced Sybase folks to work 
with me on this project and advise on Sybase SQL dialect.

You bet. I will be testing on a SuSE 9.0 box myself. I don't know what 
flavor of linux the group at AOL uses, but I will find out today at the 
kickoff meeting. We also have another potential client, and for them we 
will be putting a Mac OS X Xserver appliance in place for them.

Awesome! I've got a skeleton in place, based on the Postgresql adaptor; 
I'm waiting on the Sybase experts right now. This project has a very 
short timeline, so I expect I should have something to you very 
shortly.

Thanks!
