Obligatory warning: Telnet is evil, move to ssh. Works just like telnet
except the data is transparently encrypted. It also has some fantastic
powers to teleport X apps around.
Everyone else replied with great answers before I could finish this :-). The
only thing I didn't see mentioned:
- As Telnet is universally acknowledged to encourage evil, the service
telnetd is not enabled by default. Check that you have it installed
rpm -q telnet-server
