Telnet is actually quite useful... that's one of the things that can let you access one machine from another. I use it frequently at work, and here in the home office when I want to do something on my RedHat box, but don't want to walk all the way over there to log in. I'd put it back... the security problems come in when someone can telnet in and guess an account and password. Make sure those are secure first...
