I assume you are on 32 bit.  There is free TDS which works fine.  Try that out 
and if your mileage varies try use the 15 day trial with Data Direct (works 
fairly well).  There is also one out my Merant (spelling questionable) that 
works as well but I thought it a bit pricey.
 
I was on 64 bit and had to use a IBM driver which worked out well.

Oracle seems to recommend (though not exclusively) the driver from 
datadirect.com.
 
Metalink Note 466228.1 has this in it:
 

The ODBC driver

There are several ODBC vendors for UNIX platforms. Below is a description using 
the ODBC driver from Data Direct Technologies. They also provide a 15 day trial 
license for Linux based platforms. More information is available at the 
following URL:

Anyone have a recommendation?  We're getting more and more SQL Server databases 
and are needing to access them from our Oracle DBs on Linux and HPUX.  My 
associate, who, thank God, is a SQL Server guru, has gotten one (that our Sys 
Admins found) set up and working with 9i Heterogeneous Services on an HPUX 
server.  It's one from EasySoft and we're investigating the costs.  A brief 
scan of SourceForge didn't reveal much that looked promising.  Did I miss one? 
 Any others? 

Thanks.
