Remote connect to MySQL db with woody - Help please?



I'm having a bit of trouble here.  My employer's op. is based on a vpn
running on Ensim (Ptoooo!), within which is running a MySQL database.
I've looked at several things (mysql-navigator 1.2.4-1, OpenOffice
1.1.4, ...) in order to connect remotely, to no effect.  mysqladmin
doesn't appear to exist for woody, msql-administrator (tarball from
mysql) crashes complaining about a lack of "libxrandr", ..., I've
installed libmyodbc (which also pulled in odbc-postgresql, odbcinst1,
and unixodbc), to no effect.  I've looked at backports.org, and
nothing's obvious from there.

Other than upgrading to stable/Sarge (that's coming, when I can), what
do you do?  What would you do?  Yeah, I probably ought to talk to the
boss, but I'd rather perform a miracle on my own if I can.  Is there
some middling config thingy I can do to tell the currently installed
packages how to manage the communication?

I've working perl code using my ID and password, but I'd like to
browse the damn thing to get a better understanding of the schema &
etc.

Any ideas/pointers welcome, and appreciated.  Thanks.
