You want "telnet srvfs-01 3306". Netcat can also be used if you don't have a telnet client. That said, telnet and netcat will only help if the server uses a plain text protocol (or has a plain text header like OpenSSH). If you have access to the server machine netstat is a much better tool. -- William Hooper
