- install telnetd; "apt-get install telnetd"
- try it; "telnet localhost"
- lookup your Internet IP address; "ifconfig"
- try it from the remote box; "telnet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
- tweak /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to make sure not every
machine on the Internet can "enjoy" your telnet service;
"man 5 hosts_access"
HTH,
Remco
PS. Use of sshd is recommended since telnet sends plain text passwords
over the Internet..
