The server is down. I mean the site you have mentioned here. I don't know whether you could access the server in the USA. It seems you are in the USA. I am in Europe.
I find it hard to believe that telnet is not already included with mandrake 10.
Try to find it in the root environment:
$ su - <--(don't forget the dash there)
(password)
# find / -name 'telnet'
And see what that turns up.
On my slackware machine it's /bin/telnet and on my ubuntu machine it's /usr/bin/telnet.
