If you want to use a hammer to do a screw drivers job then you can use telnet to query the database and then somehow pipe it to a GUI. Other then that you have Oracle's Sql*Net, Net8, JDBC, ODBC etc at your disposal.

If telnet is the requirement, then I am not aware of any tool that can pipe it to give you visual representation. If you do not want to use Oracle's middleware, then next best option that I can think of is to use Java's JDBC thin driver which sits on top of TCP stack. You can slap a GUI to pipe the data to tables's etc.

Maybe someone else can give you a better option.
