I'm able to connect to mssql2k up to SP4 and SQLExpress 2005 so I don't
think this is the problem. Probably you are trying to use an invalid tds
protocol.
For instance try with

TDSVER=8.0 ./tsql -H 123.4.5.6 -p your_port -U your_account -P
your_password

tsql -C 

to get default compile TDS version
