telnet, cal, ...

 

Hello,

I'm missing the 'telnet' command which is sometimes essential to check
some web service or whatever, or to connect like this:

# telnet mud.nemesis.de 2000
Trying 81.92.172.208...

                                        We don't have friendly dragons...
Nemesis at Munich, Germany is currently running version 03.01.02.
Please tell us your name: 

and today I wanted to check which day will be the April, 30 next year
with something like:

$ LANG=C cal 4 2016
     April 2016       
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa  
                1  2  
 3  4  5  6  7  8  9  
10 11 12 13 14 15 16  
17 18 19 20 21 22 23  
24 25 26 27 28 29 30  

and the 'cal' command is missing as well, which have been for ages in
any base system on any UNIX flavor:

$ man cal | col -b | tail -20

SEE ALSO
     calendar(3), strftime(3)

HISTORY
     A cal command appeared in Version 5 AT&T UNIX.  The ncal command appeared
     in FreeBSD 2.2.6.


How can I install both?
