Answer 1

Do NOT turn on telnet, it is a serious risk to your machine. It is the most insecure protocol for remote connection. Nobody now uses it.

Answer 2

May I recommend puTTY.  It is a free win32 app for telnet and ssh.  I like it because you can store profiles for your telnet/ssh servers and log everything.  You can download it here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtat...
