The situation is that I want to script a telnet session. The best beast
for communicating with a telnet server is a telnet client, ain't it? Using
nc would mean writing a telnet client in shell... that's not what I want.

Ok, it's one thing that what I want (I know how to do that), and what's
good for busybox. I just asked whether wouldn't it be a good idea to add a
feature to an applet at the "price" of removing a few bytes of code.
