No, telnet is probably usable. I use ts7400 with my application board
where ttyAM0 is easily available, so I had no need to use telnet.
Just look at linuxrc scripts how they use telnet (I have no board here just now)
You should consider usig some (3.3v) ttl-232 converter. It will make
your live much simplier when something goes wrong.
And ts-9441 will be probably necessary if you brick your board..
