You need to make sure that telnet is enabled on the linux box. Do a `cat
/etc/inetd.conf | grep telnet`. If it returns a line like the following:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.telnetsnoopd
and the line does _not_ have a comment mark "#" in front of it, the you
are in business. This is the default on most newly installed boxen.
You also need networking setup. Go to http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ and
read the Net3-HOWTO and the Network Administrators Guide if you need
help here.
Then just click Start|Run and type in telnet. Then enter the name of the
Linux box in the dialog that comes up.
If you run into problems let me know.
