If you need to see the database connection on your Linux Zope you could 
try one of the Linux-running ODBC connections to go straight to the 
server (search this list for links) or perhaps you could use ZEO or some 
other scheme to mount the Storage of your other Zope to your Linux Zope.

Perhaps less complicated would be the XML-RPC Proxy product 
(http://www.zope.org/Members/dshaw/XMLRPCProxy). Dunno if this can proxy 
DB connections. If not, perhaps you could create a proxying DB 
Connection, which would use XML-RPC to call the one on the other server.

Otherwise, use xml-rpc or the previously mentioned ZClient to call 
methods on the other server.
