    Properties p = new Properties();
    p.put("user", user);
    p.put("password", passwd);
    p.put("charset", "cp850");
    Connection  cx       = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, p);

I guess you will need to experiment with the name of the charset -
personally I wouldn't have guessed iso_1 at all. But then again I'm
not a Windows guy.

No, please don't. I don't have write access to the repository and even
if I had I'd probably choose a different aproach than the one used in
what I called a "quick hack". 

Therefore most likely my hack won't make it into freetds_jdbc at any
time. Including it in any kind of "official" package would make a real
maintenance nightmare. Think of getting bug reports about a not
existing version.

I've sent an email to Craig, indicating which way I would prefer to
solve it. I'm sure we are going to hear from him.
