Newbee question: Telnet doesn't work with Fedora core 1

[Dennis McCracken]

I've installed Fedora core 1 on a desktop system for "Workstation". Anaconda
worked well with my system.  I have the network up and running and I'm able
to surf the web etc...

When I try to telnet into the system from my NT box I get rejected.  This
feels like a security issue but I've tried several tools provided as part of
Fedora and I've gotten nowhere after two hours of searching for an answer.
I'm sure someone here knows the answer.  It's probably some default setting
that needs to be changed.

Thanks in advance...
