well, i changed the conf to says window-1252 and restarted apache.  conf 
looks like this:

[clients]
        host = 10.10.10.20
        port = 1433
        tds version = 7.0
        client charset = windows-1252
        text size = 512000
        dump file = /tmp/freetds.log
        debug level = 99

the log says this on connection:

Which still says iso_1, which doesn't have the silly quotes.  i tried using 
CP1252, which iconv -all lists, but DB connections don't work with client 
charset set to that.

Thanks for the tip about the logging, i haven't ever had a need for it before.

Try changing your client charset setting in freetds.conf to 
windows-1252.

iso-8859-1 doesn't contain the "smart quotes."

Alternatively, try enabling freetds' own logging facilities. I'm sure 
you'll find it more useful.
