Hi Khe...
Yes, you'll need to be running a telnet server to telnet in, although I'd
recommend setting up ssh because it's a little more secure. At any rate,
for telnet, chances are there's a line in your /etc/inetd.conf starting
with 'telnet'; you can probably just uncomment it out and send a HUP
signal to inetd --
killall -HUP inetd
-- to 'start' the telnet server.
If there's no such line, you'll need to find and install a telnet daemon,
but it's unlikely you don't already have one lying around somewhere. If
it doesn't work, make sure there's a line for 'telnet' in /etc/services
mapping it to port 23.
