Eventually I will go with SSH, and use Putty.
I would suggest using ssh from day one. It is a much better system. That aside it is because you don't have telnet enabled in inetd or xinetd, whichever it is you are running. For inetd, edit /etc/inetd.conf, and uncomment the line about telnet, restart inetd and it should work. If you are running xinetd, you need to edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and change the line 'disabled = yes' to 'disabled = no', restart xinetd and away you go. You need to do special windows magic to make it a telnet server. I don't know what precisely.
