Brian, 

I have updated the FAQ, muchly.  

http://www.freetds.org/faq.html#Why is my TDS protocol wrong

The hard-coded numbering scheme is gone; some of the ancient stuff is
gone.  I rearranged some of the questions into what I think is a more
logical order, and replaced some answers with advice to see the UG.  

Not being an HTML maven, I don't know if "Why is my TDS protocol wrong",
with its embedded spaces, is a kosher anchor name.  If it causes any
grief, I'll do the right thing, whatever that is.  

Just after checking it into CVS, I noticed the version on the web site
was *not* the latest prior version in CVS.  I plopped my new Q & A into
your fine new page structure, completely overwriting anything after
"<!-- page specific content>".  Checked that in, posted it.  Hope it's
OK.  

I think there are a few outstanding issues with the FAQ, but I confess
my listkeeping is undermanaged.  One item is the whole priority/coalesce
logic for freetds.conf.  If anyone has other suggestions (new or
forgotten), I'd appreciate hearing about them.  

Regards,
