I am getting the error shown below when I try to connect to a MS SQL7
database using the Sun JRE1.3.0 plugin through an applet. This same applet
works under the Sun JRE1.2.2 plugin.

The freetds_jdbc version I am using has a latest date of 2000/01/24. I
tried the latest snapshot (2000/02/22) and it would not work as a simple
application or with any level of plugin or as a simple applet.

My client is Win 98
The web and database server is NT 4
The webserver is MS IIS
I am letting the TDS default to 4.2
The database version string  is:
  Microsoft SQL Server  7.00 - 7.00.623 (Intel X86)
