are you sure that A: telnetd is listening on the other system and is
telnetd listening on port 50005?

Telnet typically listens by default on port 23, so try 50005:localhost:23,
or better yet 23:localhost:23

Also, why are you using telnet across an ssh tunnel anyway?  why not just
SSH directly?  Or use sshuttle if you need a tunnel (sshuttle is a lot
easier).
