SQL Server 7.0 will run with TDS versions 4.2 or 7.0.  With SQL Server 6.5
and lower only 4.2 is available.  TS 5.0 is a Sybase only thing.  All TDS
7.0 gains you is unicode and large varchar support, and unicode is as yet
unsupported in the library (and likely to remain so until someone with an
interest in it surfaces).
