Hi, I'm in Raleigh, so DataDirect is right nearby. Also, I know their current managers, etc. I worked with them on my last contract, and know something about their stuff.
We needed an ODBC driver from our ETL DataStage UNIX server to an Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (old version) client running on Windows NT. The DataDirect guys really helped us out, especially with contact info for Sybase ASA. As I remember, the ETL DataStage wire-protocol was considered anything 'provided' with their product, e.g. Sybase 11. Therefore, 'non' wire-protocol was 3rd party like our Sybase ASA ODBC driver. We could still use the DataStage Driver Manager to configure the 3rd party ODBC. Too much information. Sorry. Whatever... :-) Send me an email and maybe I can help with info.
