The server dropped the connection. I suspect the login packet is invalid,
because:

1. the server normally responds to malformed login packets by dropping
the connection, and

2. 'memcpy to convert "ROMAN8"->"UCS-2LE"' isn't right.

But compare fisql: it doesn't think "ROMAN8" is the client character set;
it finds ISO-8859-1, which is fine ... and works.

Maybe what's happening here is that tsql gets your client character set
wrong, and then the trivial built-in iconv doesn't recognize the name.
The unknown-name default behavior is to do no conversion, which
*definitely* won't work for conversion to UCS-2, a 16-bit Unicode
encoding.

Two bugs:

1. tsql gets the client charset wrong. Fortunately fisql gets it right,
so it's just a matter of comparing what they do.

2. tds_iconv_info_init() should assume the unknown client character set
is an ASCII derivative and treat it like ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8. To assume
it's two-byte Unicode is to ask for trouble.

That's good.

etc. All good.

OTOH, the two logs connections to different servers. Maybe 192.168.1.3
port 1433 isn't really a SQL Server, or doesn't accept TDS 8.0 logins.

HTH.
