Hi John,

Just a quick sum off ideas:
Try to use
*) amap http://www.thc.org/download.php?t=r&d=amap-4.3.tar.gz
against the port, although i'm not sure if they allready support much
databases.
*) Nmap 3.45. They support from 3.45 version-checking and maybe they can
offer you some version
*) netcat instead of telnet. Maybe the telnetclient send some ^M or
whatever the database don't like.

If this all doesn't provide you help, try to connect to a nearby switch
and start ettercap ( http://ettercap.sourceforge.net ) to fool it and
send all the traffic via your laptop (pc?). Capture the traffic and try
to figure out what the clients are sending to you.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Bart
