Hey folks...

Running SCO FoxPro for Unix (v2.6).  Damned cool product, and fast
as all git out.

The problem is, we'd like to link it up to an SQL Server somewhere,
whether it's on or off the current machine.  

Does FoxPro Unix suppor this type of remote database linkup?  And
how do I do it?

(BTW, I'd like to thank Microsoft for being _OH_ so helpful on the phone.
Try calling their sales number to find out info on their products.  Go
ahead.  I dare ya.  "Thank you for calling Microsoft's Sales number.  We
are experienceing unusually high traffic.  Please try again later."  (this
has been for over a week, guys. 

So.  Try the fax number.  "We are experi... blah blah.  Some faxes may
take 4 hours to be processed."  (last one never arrived, this one made it
in 45 minutes.  Rah.

Anyway.  Any info on the SQL Connectivity would be appreciated.
