I'm a newbie to php3/mysql. I'm using win95/Xitami/php3/mysql locally only. Works great! However, I'm wondering why when I exececute the following:

c:\mysql\bin\telnet localhost 3306

I get a telnet window, it connects to mysqld but with some garbled characters at the end of the version message, and when I hit ENTER, I loose the connection with the error message: Bad Handshake. Should I not be able to talk to mysqld via a telnet session, even locally?

later.....duke
