you're wrong.

addresses passed to telnet should be
interpreted the same way as they are 
by all the other programs.  there is no
good reason telnet should be different,
except that for some reason you refuse
to type four extra characters.  if you want
to do less typing, use 

    con tcp!host!pop3

instead of

    telnet tcp!host!pop3
