Juicessh ap for android has telnet.  I use it for my vax boxes.

If you are concerned about connecting to the internet, the biggest risk is
having a nail server running.  Usually when bots probe for telnet hosts
they dont attempt a vms style login, so it's not so risky just to have a
vax running vms in and of itself.
