Telnet is a part of inetd service, and defined in /etc/inetd.conf, i.e.
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
It will be commnted out with # sign, you need to uncomment this line and restart inetd service
kill -HUP `pidof inetd`
But I would advise not to use telnet, and use secure shell a.k.a ssh for remote access.

ok i would be more than happy to use ssh. can that be done from a windows pc? i'll be wanting to access my linux machine from work. is there a client i would need, or is ssh built into windows? and is ssh installed by default or what do i need to start it?

thanks for the reply, btw.

EDIT: sorry, i found Putty for windows. works great. thanks for the help you provided me.
