What do you mean Sun's telnet does not allow this.  It sure does.
Just type:
	telnet <machine> <port>
where <port> is either a number or a name mentioned in /etc/services;
i.e. telnet <machine> mail

My sun man page looks like:

TELNET(1C)                USER COMMANDS                TELNET(1C)

NAME
     telnet - user interface to a remote system using the  TELNET
     protocol

SYNOPSIS
     telnet [ host [ port ] ]
     ........

Don't know about NCSA, though I would assume it also has this ability.
