This thread seems to have drifted a bit.

*Telnet programs depend on a network connection, not a serial line 
like the original poster (I think) requested.  If you want a telnet 
program under OSX (like the original poster, I think, requested) then 
there's . . . telnet.

NiftyTelnet is . . . nifty, but I don't think it's based on NCSA 
Telnet the way BetterTelnet is.
