The situation isn't quite that bad. You are allowed to use the output of a GPL program. For instance if you use an open source editor it has no effect on the code you are editing. The Telnet application is designed so you can operate EMC remotely over a network connection. However there is nothing to stop me connecting to it over a local connection. I am just using it's output. This is not very efficient but it is legal. I can rewrite the Telnet app to use a more efficient communications route as long as I make my changes public.
By the way, these rules only apply if you are diistributing compiled code. You can do what you want if you are only using the program yourself or within an organisation.
