Does anyone have a way to run non-ESXCLI commands via PowerCLI without calling Plink?
Do you mean like in Robert's How to run VMware vSphere CLI perl scripts from PowerCLI post ?

This isn't exactly what I want to run. I want to run a command HP recommends testing to verify the host has connection to the HP SIM server which is:
nc -z <ip address of SIM server> 50004
So it's not a vicfg command.
That is the Linux netcat command.
Are you sure that should work on ESXi 5.x ?
Since ESXi 5.x there is no console anymore.
Yes it seems to work via Putty.
Then no, I don't know of another way to run this, besides using PuTTY
