    <para> 
     <function>mssql_connect</function> establishes a connection to a
     MS SQL server.  The servername argument has to be a valid
     servername that is defined in the 'interfaces' file.
    </para>
    <para> 
     In case a second call is made to
     <function>mssql_connect</function> with the same arguments, no
     new link will be established, but instead, the link identifier of
     the already opened link will be returned.
    </para>
    <para> 
     The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of
     the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling
     <function>mssql_close</function>.
    </para>
