The NT Resource Kit comes with a beta Telnet Server, but I've had problems with it.  There are several companies that sell Telnet servers for NT, but I've never found one that was free (plenty of demo's though).

NT resource kit does have a utility called Remote Console - it must be installed as a service on the server and you can then connect to it using RCLIENT (also from Resource Kit) from any NT workstation (and possible 9x workstation).  Remote console is very much like telnet, running the process on the other server.
