My apologies for introducing some confusion here. You can use telnet to test
whether mysqld accepts incoming connections from the host on which you
are running telnet in case you do not have mysql already installed on the
client computer. If however the mysql client is already installed on the
client host you may just as well use it directly. If the telnet connection
was successful you should see the mysql version and some other garbage.
If the site is firewalled then telnet and mysql client should hang.
Bye,
Neil
