As others said there's more than one option, not forgetting netcat: nc -t address However, you don't need to install anything if you don't want to, because=20 busybox contains a telnet client and daemon. Just create a symlink from your /usr/local/bin/telnet to /bin/busybox: # ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/local/bin/telnet $ ls -la /usr/local/bin/telnet lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 30 12:24 /usr/local/bin/telnet -> /bin/busybox $ telnet BusyBox v1.17.4 (2010-12-26 22:07:56 GMT) multi-call binary. Usage: telnet [-a] [-l USER] HOST [PORT] Connect to telnet server Options: -a Automatic login with $USER variable -l USER Automatic login as USER Or just run: $ busybox telnet =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1896574.dTYy3R81FD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk2eCz4ACgkQVTDTR3kpaLbXXQCcC9WeINp2xkknNceIXpDRZCzU wgMAnRCzrcy+0XEITS7KavfvBMxrdYAH =NyBg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1896574.dTYy3R81FD--
