do not enable telnet on your server if it connected to the internet!!! this is a major vulerability and you will have bad guys popping in and out of your server. instead install the ssh daemon. check in /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS for sshd2 (maybe just sshd i can't remember off the top of my head). once you have it installed then just type ssh 10.0.0.2 (or whatever the address is for your server) and it will connect you. if you are connecting from a windows pc to this redhat server then download putty from : http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ it will setup the ssh connection to your server. be sure to type chkconfig --list on your server and look to see that telnet and other things you don't need are turned off. more questions do searches on ssh and chkconfig on http://www.google.com
good luck

mandrake 8 already comes with ssh. You have nothing to worry about. Pop over to grc.com or find nmap on the web and check your ports. If your telnet port is open, comment it out of /etc/services. After that, use ssh to telnet to your computer.
