Try <http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers>. Specifying
MS SQL Server and Type 4 will give you 15 results - with most vendors
listed twice, once for JDBC 1 and once for 2.

AFAIK FreeTDS is the only free (as in "free beer" this time) one - and
when I tried to evaluate other options about a year ago, most other
drivers were quite expensive.
