By default, Fedora doesn't install the telnet server, but installs (much
more secure) ssh server.

to connect via windows, download the Putty ssh client from:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

then you should be able to get full secure shell access to your machine
from windows.  This is what I use all the time.
