Just some info here on SQLServer protocols: The default network protocol for SQLServer is Named Pipes, similar to the old ntserver protocol (if I understand what ntserver was, I never used it), and similar to NET USE blah blah blah commands. It was over a couple ports (136,137??) and NOT a good idea to allow this across a firewall. The primary limitation I've found with Named Pipes on SQLServer is that it REQUIRES the user have NT credentials to the server, even if you are NOT using that for the SQL connection--the client machine has to be a user on the server. TCP/IP Sockets net library also supports NT authentication which does NOT require the client to be a user on the server, and is quite routable (I think!), using port 1433 by default IIRC. This would be the protocol of choice for CVSNT if it was to use SQLServer, but it could be left as a configurable option since different sites have different preferences. Regardless, I would expect CVSNT to support a free database out of the box (MySQL or Postgre or similar, I prefer MySQL only because I'm using other OSS that uses it). I'm not at all opposed to it also working with others of course :).
