On Linux (I use RHEL 3), we can use PHP in Typo3 to construct pages 
which pull data out of MSSQL 2000.  We use unixodbc and FreeTDS.  By 
default, DSNs are defined in /etc/odbc.ini file and drivers are 
specified in /etc/odbcinst.ini file.  Server, port and other database 
information are stored in /usr/local/etc/freetds.conf.  For more 
detailed configuration information, check out their websites respectively.
