I'm plowing through the "MySQL in 21 days" book - "plowing" because a good part of the examples don't work, or at least don't work in Windows.

With mysqld running, if I try telnet localhost 3306 (don't have the book handy) I get a line that indicates I found it, but it ends in some strange characters and won't take any further keystrokes. What should I expect to see?

I'm able to ping other machines on our LAN, and telnet to its IP address gives me a similar screen. Should I not be able to connect to it and fire up the mysql monitor on my machine to exercise the database on the other machine?
