Re: telnet...

you should never use telnet apart from the useful bit of telling if something is listening ona specific port. ie.. is a webserver/etc up and running. Telnetting to the relevant port ( 80 or 443 by default but not always!) you will get a connected reply.

if you are logging onto another box always sue ssh.
