Why in the world are you using telnetd anyhow?  You should be using SSHD and never telnetd.  Telnetd should be 'forbidden'...

Did you log in from the internet to your gateway via telnet during that three hour period?  Did you run tcpdump or ssldump (http://www.rtfm.com/ssldump/) to see where the traffic is coming from?   Don't jump to conclusions before you acquire some data...
