Hi,

A couple of questions, 

Can you attach to 7.0 using older drivers on the Windows side? (use the
6.5 client driver to attach to 7.0 server)

If so, I'd like to get a dump of the login sequence being passed by the
6.5 client.  The 7.0 might have tightened up something and we are a little
sloppy regarding what we send.

You can use the srvtest.c in the samples directory to pretend to be a
server and point the client to it.  You need to uncomment the call to
get_incoming() though.  This should generate a client.out file, that's
what I need.

BTW, 8 is the normal header length of the returning packet...So, MS SQL
basically sent you a zero length packet...strange.
