I wouldn't expect to see this any time soon: telnet and ssh are very
two different protocols.

Your best options are:

1) use telnetlib to tunnel through an established ssh connection
2) write a module that wraps the ssh client, communicating to it through
   popen2 or popen3

Option 1 will require a telnet daemon to be available on the remote
host.

If you're interested, and can wait, I'm working on a python based 
distributed object system which will (eventually) support ssh tunneling.
