I was indeed trying to test a remote connection to mysql server. I am
actually trying to get JDBC working from a client that does not have MySQL
installed, and was just trying to use telnet to see if the connection
worked. I have discovered that I must install a JDBC driver of some kind on
the server with MySQL, which I am working on now. I guess I have to grant
permission to the client from the mysql server for this test.
