Barry, Sounds like telnet has been disabled on the linux side, but ssh is going to work for you. This is a much better solution (much more secure). Just download putty from:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and you should be in business. There are other W$ ssh clients you could use too, but putty seems popular and it works very nicely for me. Click on the ssh radio button and just type in your host name or ip and you should get a login prompt.
