Sorry I am not sure what you are asking here.

Do you want to be able to access internal computers from externally or external computers from internally?

If your asking about establsihing a telnet session from the Internet to your Server, I would say don't allow telnet from the Internet. It's a large security risk.

If you need access from the Internet and internally to your lan use ssh2, not telnet.

better still u can do the following for a telnet session.

1. locate the telnet rpm on ur ISO
2. install it wit the pm command.
3 check from the xinetd and enable the session (quite easy)
4. restart the xinetd service
5. try login it the comand telnet <ipaddr>

NB: u can telnet and use SSH in the session
