I suspect that it is possible to still use the Sybase libraries,
provided that you call ct_con_props(CS_SET, CS_TDS_LEVEL, CS_TDS_42)
(approximate syntax :-) before connecting.

This feature has been added to recent DBD::Sybase releases, and I'd
love it if someone could confirm that it works, not having access to a
MSSQL 7.0 server myself...
