You will also need to have UnixODBC installed on your Linux system and either IBM or EasySoft would need to provide Linux compatible ODBC drivers for same. You might want to check with your DBA/SysAdmin on additional details. With the above in place and appropriate configuration specs, then using RODBC should not be an issue. This is how I connect to an Oracle 10g server from a Fedora 8 laptop.
