Install Telnet Mac Catalina

Telnet is an incredibly useful diagnostic and debug tool. I use it at some point nearly every day diagnosing SMTP connection problems, accessing old Cisco switches / routers on my internal private/secure network, connecting to serial consoles across a local/private network and more.
Many older applications, including tn3270 X, are 32-bit applications, and must be updated to the 64-bit model for Catalina. Unfortunately, this won't be possible for tn3270 X. Tn3270 X was developed using Apple's Carbon framework, which was originally provided for porting classic Mac applications to OS X. Of course, now few people use the telnet protocol, because there is SSH more powerful and secured tool, but still telnet sometimes could be necessary. Apple is so reckled about our security from that to exclude telnet from the list of basic Terminal commands on Mac.
