I would suggest replacing telnet with ssh if possible. Out of curiosity, what architecture and manufacturer are you using for the embedded device? > Would this be a candidate for daemon process?

Adding something to rc.local is a quick hack, but you might want to add a script to /etc/init.d and offering start/stop services so things run more cleanly. -Vince
