In typical *ix telnet, you should be able to hold control and press ] (right square bracket) to get to the telnet prompt. From there, you can type 'quit' to exit telnet entirely.

The client should be telling you this when it first starts up. For instance, on my box:

~$ telnet localhost 2050
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

That last line is the pertinent one. Its using a caret ^ to represent 'hold control'. :)

It is possibly worthwhile to type 'help' to see what your other options are when you're at the telnet prompt.
