^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 What is default timeout value for "isql" ?  Appears that timeout value
 for odbc:connect/2 is too low for your environment and needs to be
 higher.  I suggest setting it high and if that works, back it off
 until discover where it typically times out.  Then set above
 threshold.
