How to telnet Linux

I'm using Win NT to connect to Linux.
I would like to know how to telnet Linux in Win NT.
Ping between these two machines is successful, but no response
to telnet.

Many thanks!

Check if you have the file /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
If not, the telnet server is not installed on your linux
machine. The server RPM should be in the RPMS directory
on your distribution CD, named something like
]'telnet-server-0.12-10mdk.i586.rpm'

To install the telnet server, as root do
# rpm -ivh telnet-server-0.12-10mdk.i586.rpm

which should create the file /usr/sbin/in.telnetd, and then
you should be able to telnet to your linux box.
