Sorry it took me so long to respond...
I don't think that this is doable "out of the box".
I suspect that you'd have to write an openserver app on the NT box
that undestands OpenClient calls on one side and sends ODBC requests
on the other.
Not a really clean solution.
You might be able to use DBI with DBD::Proxy by running a proxy server
on teh NT box, but I don't know much about how that would work.
