I am using mysql command line tool downloaded from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql.html - I have enabled remote connect to SQL Server but I can't connect to it using this. I am just wondering if it's because mysql client isn't compatible with SQL Server? If it's not, is there any client I can use on OS X or ubuntu?

No, you cannot use MySQL to connect to MSSQL.
You have to use clients that were specifically created to understand MSSQL protocol. One of the most popular solutions for this on Linux is FreeTDS.
Also, you can use ODBC or JDBC, but that will require you to install appropriate driver.
