Goto the Sharing tab in System Preferences and select "Remote Login" to start the SSH server.

SSH is a secure version of Telnet (telnet is insecure because it sends the password in plain text over the network, while SSH is encrypted).

There are plenty of SSH clients available (Jaguar comes with a command line one, ssh) including Putty, which is free for all platforms. Do a search on Google for it.

NOTE: ssh is safer but here's how to enable telnet anyway (not tested in 10.2 but it works in 10.1.5):

you can turn on telnet by editing /etc/inetd.conf

1. open the terminal
2. cd /etc
3. sudo pico inetd.conf
4. remove the # from the start of the telnet line
5. control-o (saves the file)
6. control-x (quits pico)
7. make your terminal longer (resize the window) and type 'top' <return>
8. find inetd and make a note of it's pid (the number in the left most coloumn)
9. open another terminal and type 'kill ####' (where #### is the pid you made a note of)
10. then type inetd <return>

to telnet into the mac.
1. open up a telnet program and start a new connection
2. enter the ip of the mac, your username and password
3. hit connect.

There are also Windows ssh clients (and servers) available. No need for the insecure telnet.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Jaguar now use xinetd, so you shouldnt edit the inetd.conf anymore. Now there is a directory /etc/xinetd.d/ with a text file for every services, so you only got to edit the /etc/xinetd.conf/telnet file. And now Jaguar include the killall command, so no more need of the PID, sudo killall -HUP xinetd its all you need.
