It seems you failed to read the doc/README.NetConsole fle that  comes
with  the  U-Boot sources. This explains clearly that while in U-Boot
the netconsole implementation is bidirectional, the  Linux  coede  is
unidirectional only.

You should not use telnet for  obvious  security  problems.  Use  ssh
instead.  But  from  the technical side it is perfectly fine to use a
remote login through telnet or rsh or ssh...
