1434 is the UDP discovery port. FreeTDS is trying to understand at which
port to connect to (it cannot connect to an UDP port!).

Obviously, it's UDP, telnet (and mssql main connection) run on TCP.

Good, try with

tsql -H SQLSERVER -p 1298 -U readonly -P dbreadonly

(-H is host, -p is port)

Probably on the other machine you have some settings on freetds.conf for
SQLSERVER. TDSDUMPCONFIG and TDSDUMP are your friend.
Note that if you plan to use just mssql using protocol 4.2 is REALLY a bad
idea!
