If it is used remotely, why not install ssh on the box? You realize you can simply:
apt-get install ssh
Then, configure the sshd-config and be done with it
SSH does not need inetd/xinetd where telnet would. As such, telnet is VERY insecure, ESPECIALLY for remote management, as it would send your info through various routers in an unencrypted format.
I would seriously consider recommending some training or reading materials before you get your machine owned.
