You sure you want to use telnet?
Why not use SSH?

All you would have to do is activate sshd, or use the desktop gui to turn it on

The telnet server is not included with DSL.

Using ssh will require a small learning curve, but it is more secure than using telnet for your connections.

If you really want telnetd you can Enable Apt and then apt-get install telnetd  from the Debian archives.
