Thanks for your comments, Ive been told about that
before. Problem is I spend a lot of time getting
connected not only from my internal network, but also
from school labs (running MS) where I can't just
installed any software to run ssh from that
environment so somehow I need to get my telnet server
to listen to any other machine locally and from
outside.
I appreciate your advise.

I just want to add an opinion..how about not using telnet .. go for ssh. You can have sshd up in just as much time as this is taking and it will get you out of the habit of using telnet which is just completely unsecure. Just a thought.
