[TriLUG] Access databases under linux

[Jon Carnes]

Considering there are Opensource tools for import/export from linux databases 
(MySQL) to Access databases:
  http://www.linux-mag.com/2001-02/pr_mysql_01.html

It should be possible to access an Access Database directly from a linux box 
(even if it is stored on a Linux server).
