Remote, as in across the Internet, or confined in the LAN? Never *ever*
telnet to *anything* across a network where you don't trust all users.

There are no telnet commands, as such. A telnet connection is just a
direct TCP connection to port 23. The listening server usually connects
the incoming connection to a login program that then spawns the users
shell, while the client emulates some sort of terminal (like VT100).
Whatever commands are available in the shell and the target environment
is what you have to work with.

And for that reason it's not well supported any more. Just about any
device should be able to support SSH or something similar. I really
hope you know what you're doing, so you don't hang yourself with the
rope I'm about to give you:
Standard Linux telnet client and server:

Telnet and telnetd ported from OpenBSD with IPv6 support:
