Yes. Have a look at http://www.unixodbc.com and
http://www.easysoft.com/products/2002/main.phtml

Now there's a question!

I have been trying to get easysoft's ODBC-ODBC Bridge software to work for
over a week. Credit must be given to easysoft for the huge amount of help
they've given me. However, I still don't have a working system.

easysoft currently think the problem is that I built unixODBC from source,
rather than using the Red Hat rpm.

I don't know which Linux flavour you're using, but you may have some success
if you use RPMs.

Please let me know how you get on.

Paul
