You should be able to install it with 'yum install telnet-server'. Telnet uses xinetd, so it wont appear in your regular list of services, but on the next tab if you're using system-config-services.

If you're not using that tool, or cannot see an option to change inet service preferences, then you can edit the file /etc/xinetd.d/telnet directly and change the line that reads 'disable=yes' to 'disable=no'.

You'll need to restart xinetd if you make config changes, do this with 'service xinetd restart'.

If this server faces the internet directly, may I suggest you don't use telnet. It is a huge security risk. If you want login access, then it is preferable to use SSH with key-based login.
