Thanks for your reply!

I am using unixODBC 2.2.11 and i have installed the freetds debian packages...

Since everything seems to work when i don't set the tds version in 
freetds.conf, I ask mysqlf if there are any downsides with not setting the 
tds version :)

Which library do you use to connect with PHP ?? mslib, ctlib or odbc ??
How did you configure freetds?
Perhaps you are using the old protocol and binary encoding. If you say
to FreeTDS to use utf8 you have to supply utf8 encoded data. Probably
you have iso8859-1 data (which is the html default).
