did you mean as a telnet client or a telnet server,chances are, unless you opted out when you installed redhat, you should already have a telnet client and a telnet server (daemon) installed, if you want to know how to use the CLIENT, then, if you are using X-windows primarily, open a terminal window (like xterm or konsole), or switch to a virtual console (ctl + alt + FKEY [F1 - F6]) at the prompt, type telnet *server here* *port here*, if just telneting normaly, leave out the *port here* part, for the sendmail program on the server, put 25 into *port here* for the POP (recieve mail) use 110 for the port, and so on and so forth, otherwise as i said, leave nothing there, but you shouldn't have to install anything new to get telnet capabilities, it comes with linux by default as for useint the server, refer to my next reply

if you are referring to the abilit to telnet into your machine, at the prompt run "setup" select system services (to start up at boot time) find "telnet" and select it, that should be it, then all you have to do is know the IP address that your computer goes by on the internet and telnet to that address, well, anyways, whichever of these solutions is the one your after, these i'm pretty sure are the only ways (well, ok, the telnet IS command line based, and i'm sure you COULD find an X based telnet client, or an alternate client, if you REALLY wanted to) but in the long run, the server and the client setups are the only main two i can thin of, hope one of these options helps, cheers
