Please don't use telnet.  Use ssh instead.  To turn on ssh just do (as 
root:
	/sbin/service sshd start
	/sbin/chkconfig sshd on

You can then ssh into a box like so (from another unix box inc'l OSX):
	ssh -l username your.hostname.com

There are also many free ssh clients for windows and other systems.
