Newbie question: install telnet client on linux without package manager?

[Dutch]

Hi there,

I'm trying to install a telnet client on a Linux installation where there is no package manager or other nice tools.
Would it be possible to install a telnet client on this box?
I have SSH and SCP access to it but don't know which binaries would work.

The Linux version is below:
#cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.0.14-193 (kaa@kaa-asterix-pc) (gcc version 4.6.1 (crosstool-NG hg_unknown@20111018.110132) ) #1 PREEMPT Wed May 23 13:30:20 CEST 2012

I only know this one: http://linux.techass.com/projects/tatelnet/ .

doesn't telnet come on Linux by default?
I have this package on my Ubuntu: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/netkit
You could download some package from here and run/compile it: http://www.netkit.org/download.html

There is no Telnet on the box, only SSH.
I see this more often on linux based systems.
The system I am talking about right now is the Cisco TelePresence System EX90.
Trying to connect to another device through this one ;-)

Perhaps I should better look into an SSH tunnel and redirect ports...

I don't know much about Cisco TelePresence System, but it looks like it's a dedicated device. So it could be like the Cisco router that you SSH into and configure it. It's not like a computer that you can install stuff to it.
