Bob, that would be great. Where I am with FreeTDS is command line still. I've configured freetds.conf and can use TSQL from the command line and get no errors upon connection using proper username and password. I haven't passed any commands to the db yet... as I haven't read how to use TSQL yet beyond the connection point. If understanding that and tweaking the 'sybase.interface_file' directive in php.ini or something to the similar liking, then I'm definitely looking forward to those notes! :)
