I wouldn't recommend telnet; it is inherently insecure. You should look into ssh instead.

To answer your questions:

1. The remote computer needs to run a telnet server. By default few computers will run a telnet server.
2. Depends on the firewall on the remote LAN; most will block incoming connections using the telnet protocol.
3. Not sure what you mean by "flex on telnet". But to make any sort of remote connection you obviously need a working Internet connection.

"I mean hack when I say flex"

Thanks for explaining that. It tells me all that I need to know. Goodbye.

A lot of people hack media players like WD TV using Telnet, to modify firmware.

So it's not illegal.

A thank you would be nice, if I have helped.

Who said it was illegal?

Either it's to do with connecting to a remote server, which I decline to help with, or it's about updating firmware, which I am not competent to help with.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
