Now I can see that I have two alternatives:

1)Buy mxODBC or
2)Struggle to configure freeTDS and SQLRelay...

Although I haven=B4t checked Zdataquerykit, I=B4ve been thinking of a thi=
rd one=20
(nothing elegant...):
3)Since I only need to read the DB and my application, and I can do that =
using=20
batches, I can write an extract program that runs from time to time, uplo=
ad the=20
results via FTP to Linux in some Zope/Python friendly format (CSV for ins=
tance)=20
and do my queries... Quite ugly, quite slow, isn=B4t it?

On the other hand, the Zdataquerykit page=20
(http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa/ZDataQueryKit/readme) says:
"ZODBCClient
Query ODBC Socket Servers
This object, formerly part of my XMLKit product provides the ability to q=
uery=20
an ODBC Socket Server from Zope. This, finally, allows Zope running on an=
y=20
platform to query Microsoft ODBC Databases on a Windows PC."

I think I=B4ll give a try...

Anyway, thanks everyone.

Rogerio
