You cannot telnet over a serial port, because it's not a TCP/IP connection.
You have to use a program that is designed to communicate with other systems
directly over the serial port, such as (IIRC) cu or tip.  I have not used
either, but they are standard on FreeBSD, so you can just look at the man
pages for both for details.  (There are probably other programs, too.)

How do you start a telnet client session on the serial port i.e. connecting
to a terminal port on a router?
