If you're worried about security (as you should be), then forget telnet altogether, and install/use ssh. It performs a very similar function, but encrypts all data across the connection. Have a look at this page for more information: http://www.uk.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/openssh.html Setup is a bit more complex, but it is well worth the effort for the peace of mind it will give you.
