I'm not following you.  DL comes with SSH server and client, Windows
clients are available for free.  Why not just use SSH and forget telnet?
That is by far the fastest and easiest solution.

There are other advantages to SSH over telnet, other than security, if
you want more reasons to use SSH and forget telnet....

BTW, I seriously doubt that Heiko will accept any patches to add telnet
server to DL, so even if you do spend hours to add telnetd to DL, you'll
have to re-apply your changes and recompile every time a there is a new
release of DL.  IMO, there are a lot more productive ways you could
spend your time enhancing DL!  :-)
