hello !!!
i was using freetds to connect my java WEB application running on tomcat
4.0.3 and java1.3.1_03 to SqlDatabase, but there is a great missing in
freetds !!! There is no connection timeout, i.e. this instruction is
ignored:

...
            DriverManager.setLoginTimeout(timeout);
...

this is letal for me, because when there is no carrier with SQLServer
tomcat blocks completely, because the servlet remains in stand by !

so i has forced to use Microsoft driver (mssqlserver.jar) that implements
the timeout, the only free alternative, going against my philosophy

thank you 
bye
