No you're not!

I think you might be refering to the version of FreeTDS, the 0.63 release.
I'm talking about the TDS protocol version, which would be 4.2, 5.0, 7.0,
or 8.0.

TDS 4.2 doesn't support varchars wider than 255 characters. That's
mentioned in the UG in the section that discusses TDS versions.
