This is to be expected; the MySQL port (3306 by default) is used by 
the mysql client programs to communicate with a mysql server. If 
you're using telnet, just connect to your machine and run the 'mysql' 
command. It is THIS program that will talk to the server, either via 
a socket or network connection. MySQL uses its own protocol for 
communications through the port, so we mere humans will just see the 
'Bad handshake' message and some gibberish.
