For this level of usage, the telnet code in RedBoot is possibly sufficient or certainly a starting point. If the desired usage is more complex, e.g. a stand-alone server which "runs tasks", etc [which I expect is what the original query was for], we don't really have such a thing for eCos, simply because it doesn't make sense in the environment we target. [Actually, RedBoot could be considered such a beast, but that is another matter :-)]
