I'm no expert either Thomas, but as long as you installed all of the
packages on installation for telnetting it should be automatic.  I installed
all of the packages because I have plenty of room, and I went ahead and set
up the apache web server.  My first time telnetting in from outside was
easy.  I didn't have to edit any of the system files.  Maybe you could try
telnet://localhost   telnet://127.0.0.1  and telnet://'your ip address'
After installing the telnet packages on the initial install, everything else
should be automatic with the RH6.2 distro
