Since Mandrake followes the RedHat style of installing Linux,
everything is mainly rpm installed.  You can do the following command:

>rpm -qa | grep telnet

There should be 2 packages installed:

telnet
telnet-server

If you don't have either of these, you can install them via you're
Mandrake CD, or go to www.rpmfind.net

telnet.d is setup through inetd (or xinetd, depending on your Mandrake
release), and can be configured through /etc/inetd.conf (or
/etc/xinetd.conf)

Hope this helps
