Fortunately, in Debian-like flavors, it should be as simple as
# apt-get install telnetd
then you can start it with either
# /etc/init.d/telnetd restart
or possibly if you had openbsd-inetd already installed, you might
need to restart that service too:
# /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart

If you only plan to access the RPi from your local network, telnet
should suffice. If you plan to hang your RPi out on the internet, you
might want to set up a one-time-password scheme using "libpam-opie".
This allows you to have a locally stored list (in a text-file on your
note-taker) of passwords that can be used once and only once. When
you're out in the wilds (such as an internet cafe) with your
note-taker, you can telnet to your RPi at home using one of these
passwords rather than your actual password. It doesn't prevent the
transmitted data from being snooped like an SSL/SSH connection would,
but it would at least keep your main/reusable password from being
snooped.
