Something like <a href="telnet://host">My BBS</a>, however that will only work if the browser/OS has a handler set up for telnet links, which it probably doesn't.

This looks like some circa 2002 Java applet stuff; don't bother.

You're better off putting some text on the page that says "you can telnet to my BBS at <host>:<port>". Anyone who knows what that means will figure it out from there.

If you really want it to be easy to connect from the web, set up ftelnet. And share the address for those who want to use their own client.
