telnet to test connectivity

From a Windows command prompt, when I want to test whether an IP and port is open to a connection I can use telnet:

Code:

telnet 1.2.3.4 5050

..tests whether I can connect to port 50 on host 1.2.3.4.

What is the correct context to do a similar test from an AIX console?

Thanks!
