How to I emerge my telnet client ?

# telnet 192.168.0.1
bash: telnet: command not found

# emerge telnet
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "telnet".

# emerge netkit-telnet
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "netkit-telnet".

Thank you,
Julian

juliancoccia ...

if its just the client you can use any of the 'netcat' implimentations for such things, eg net-analyzer/nmap[ncat]

busybox telnet works fine here. No need to emerge anything.

edit: Oh... maybe that wasn't an option 11 years ago?
