Brian, would it not be possible to infer the protocol from the login
packet?

packet type
0x02 TDS 4.2 or 5.0 login packet
0x10 TDS 7.0 login packet

We could assume 0x02 is a 5.0 session. I'd be fine with supporting *only*
5, 7, and 8, since a 4.2 server hasn't been sold in, what, 6 years or
more? Who's going to pool serve a Microsoft 6.5 or pre-System 10 server?

That sounds wonderful. If you don't get done, maybe consider checking it
in as branch? Then someone could pick up from where you left off.

Good to see you come up for air. ;-)

P.S. Was I supposed to talk to you about the MX record, or someone else?
