Title: Newbie Q - Simple Socket Handshake?

Brand new newbie here, please be gentle.

I want to replicate, at the most basic level, the opening transmission that a SQL Server service makes. I am trying to create a simple "the server is up" app, something beyond just connecting to the service port.

If this was SMTP, I'd read the RFC and send/receive my ASCII accordingly (which I have done in the past). But it ain't, so here I am. :)

Help?
