2005 and drivers for other OS

All,
I have read about many wonderful things about SQL Server 2005 wrt
interoperability but I am trying to find out if there will be some way for
Oracle or DB2 databases running in UNIX, Linux or even on a mainframe to
query SQL Server databases and initiate data transfers.
Thanks much!
Hi
Data Direct (http://www.datadirect.com) makes drivers to access SQL Server
from other platforms.
