I'd assume that 'telnet hostname 443' is intended to be a test for an https web service - which should in fact not permit a connection without ssl encryption. The linux version of telnet probably tries to do some options negotiations before it says it is connected and perhaps the windows version doesn't. A better test would be wget https://adp.eease.com
Just for completeness, s_client(1) would be an alternative for testing purposes, too.
