I've found this in the help, which seems to indicate that there is a telnet server for Windows XP:
ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Help\telnet.chm::/telnetserver_und_conceptstopnode.htm
(copy the whole line including the ms-its into Internet Explorer, I don't think it will work in anything else but IE, and if you're using a dual-boot system with XP as the second OS, change the C:\ to a d:\)
Could somebody point me to a walkthrough on how to install and configure it? My google searches keep giving me results for Server 2000, Server 2003, or how to use the Telnet CLIENT in XP to connect to a telnet server.
