I think you mis-understand, people are advising you to use telnet to test connections to a port, not literally to telnet to a telnet server.
SSH isn't a plaintext protocol so should it connect you're not going to see a reply, telnet or indeed nc will show you if you've connected and return any info sent back by the mta.

I already have ssh installed on my FC6 desktop, and it seems it would give me the same thing as telnet.
