telnet to port 1433 from windows does not show any response on the screen.
Same response under Linux.  Not sure what SQL Server normally
sends/receives, but both connect fine.

I don't have another source to connect to, but I could try making one.

FreeTDS on the Linux box can connect to the server and run queries just
fine.  (/usr/local/freetds/bin/tsql -S myserver -U myuser)

To me, the error message sounds like unixODBC is not finding/executing the
libtdsodbc.so or something that it needs to execute.  Is there a way to try
running a .so?  Or is that like asking about executing a Perl module?
 (Sorry its been too long, and I never really got into different forms of
compiled code on Linux.)  Executing
/usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so.0.0.0 produces a segfault.
