Whoa. Just try: telnet 10.10.10.10 I don't know about the port stuff (I'll leave to someone actually with one of those) but to telnet to a specific port, other than port 23, then just add it to the end like "telnet 10.10.10.10 PORT#". The GNU/linux version is a lot simpler than whatever you were trying to do. Also, there's absolutely no reason to run telnet as the superuser, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever.
