The CDK contains an mlexpect program, which, if it works, should do
that.

However, what is it you are trying to do with the "telnet" protocol.
For the most part, telnet is just a simple connection to a port.
Unix.open_connection will probably do exactly what you want, just make
sure you get flushing working.

If you need to deal with the tty management functionality of telnet (say
for something interactive) that will take a bit more work.
