Telnet is insecure, and should not be used.
Use ssh instead.
However, make sure the telnet daemon is running, and the ports are open in the firewall.

hi,

search google for putty
and use ssl, ssl is almost same as telnet.
nowadays you dont find ppl using telnet.

@rogerkk, you mean ssh, not ssl

Though telnet (the client) is installed by default, the daemon (telnetd was not installed)
