SecureCRT most certainly does do plain telnet, but you need to make you 
you selected the module when you installed SecureCRT (it is selected by 
default).

However, you mention that you need Wyse60 emulation.  That is something 
SecureCRT most certainly does NOT do.

A quick google gets me to OmniCom Technologies - they offer a terminal 
emulation program called AlphaCom that does Linux, ANSI, IBM3151, Wyse 
50/50+, Wyse 60, SCO ANSI, VT52, VT100, VT102, VT220 terminal types over 
telnet, ssh and RS-232 serial connections.

Note that I've never used this product, and hadn't even heard of 'em 
until 5 minutes ago, so YMMV.
