Not sure if it is the same on Express, but I tried telneting to my SQL
Server 2003 server as a test and it failed even though I was able to connect
with isql and through PHP. Just a heads up that telnet failure, for me, was
a false positive. But that was trying to hit SQL Server 2003 from Ubuntu
linux.
