Had this problem on 7.0 and it's still the same on 7.1. Actually it's not a "problem" but a security feature. If you chose medium or above security on install (maybe even low I've never used it) telnet-server package doesn't get installed. This package contains the telnet deamon you need to telnet INTO your box. Once you install that one. poof it should work. The package is on the disk called telnet-server.xxxxx.mdk.rpm where the xxxx is the version number.
