I'd think this would work fine:

/exec -interactive telnet fibd.com 4321

However, if there's any prompts that don't end with a carriage return, 
you won't see them.

It sounds like he's looking for a dedicated input line (one that doesn't 
get messed up when new text arrives while you're typing).  I suspect 
TinyFugue (tf) would work for that, though I haven't really used it...
