Use nmap. That's what it's there for.
U are <OT>, I just opponed Brett I. Holcomb, who wrote : "It (ssh) does everything telnet does ..."
But anyway, if nmap says port is open, it doesn't mean service is running properly ... so it's unvaluable.
So for checking remote services telnet is still fine !
PS. I wrote a short java prog which can check it as well ...
