I think you have the terminology wrong.  The pabx supports a serial
console or terminal on an RS-232 port.  Thats not the same as a telnet.

The good news is if you link a null-modem cable to the pabx and then to a
spare serial port you will be able to telnet to the linux box and run
something like minicom to access the pabx.

I've done similar with a router.
