If you're trying to check a 'remote' system, you can 'telnet' to port 3306
(IF you have remote 'telnet' access to the MySQL service, and IF it's
listening on the default port 3306) which will display some garbage containing
the version number....
> telnet yubby.dubby.com 3306
3.23.37G\Tn#$(@%@#OR
This server is running version 3.23.37. You could do this using 'localhost'
if you ARE on the same machine as the MySQL service...
