Rumor - ha! More than just "rumor". Yeah, it works fine against MSSQL 6.5,
it's in regular use by us right now (and will shortly be going into _heavy_
use - ohmiiigawd). 

MS changed the wire protocol some between 6.5 and 7.0, so some stuff won't
work. I don't know exactly what.

You might also want to check out http://metalab.unc.edu/freetds/ - a free
reimplementation of the client protocol used by Sybase/MSSQL.
