Too late. It's not in High Sierra (maybe even Sierra?) or the core
installation of EL7 (RedHat/CentOS) and I have run into Debian and
Ubuntu machines without it (not sure of the details of versions...)
The various incarnations of netcat are mostly as good or better for
basic connection testing without the weird invisible protocol that gets
used on port 23 (and in some versions on all connections by default.)
