Tried this and failed.
Error read:
"Connecting to nsti-2...Could not open connection to host, on port
gds_db:Connect failed"

Regarding "telnet"ing the client, Adam's command line read "telnet
dbservername 3050". He wrote that, if the screen went BLACK, the test
was successful, which mine did.

Back to your command line. What is GDS_DB? Can you help me still?
