Had difficulty getting ports setup up and testing whether drivers worked
Used freetds to act as driver with dblib
tested by using tsql -S [hostname] -U [username] -P [password]
where hostname was declared in /usr/local/etc/freetds.conf
[myserver1]
host = domain.name
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
use version8.0 for mssql server 2008
Installing freetds was a challenge
