Even if you had a telnet client (which you should consider installing),
that wouldn't work because it is the incorrect syntax.  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.
