You know, I don't know if I did, what does it do, exactly?

I think telnetd is there, but not enabled?  Honestly it's been a long 
time.  I want to have telnet working because a) I use it with my old 
machines that don't have an SSH and b) because it's the only way that I 
know of to get a remote Xterm; telnet in and set the DISPLAY to the other 
machine, then run whatever program I want in the background.  Maybe I just 
don't know of a better way :)
