What is it connected to? Is it on a network with an static IP? If it's connected to a telephone line and a modem, they you're after mgetty. If the machine has a publically visible IP address, then you will want to ssh (not telnet!) to the box. If the machine is on a lan, then you will have to configure the gateway of the network to forward a specific port to port 22 of your target machine. If you give more details, I can try to be more specific.
