Assuming that you are trying to connect from Windows or a separate Linux/Unix box other than the Linux Environment holding the database from non progress SQL/VBA etc clients. You can connect to a Progress database using the DataDirect bridge. Progress usually supplies the drivers as part of their installation. You can view them from Adminstration Tools>Data Sources (ODBC). From the client you will need to have a ODBC/ADO type object using a connection string.
For progress type clients you can connect just by specifying the the Host , server and port as part of .PF file.
