[plug] Telnet and woody and macs

[I am the LinuxAlien]

hi, I've cured not having a 2.4 kernel and not having it boot up with 
Debian 3.0 written on it my doing a clean install. on my previous 
potato/woody install (i don't know what it was at the time, it was an 
updated potato?) I had a telnet server/deamon running so i could telnet in 
from a mac that was on the network. I had it set to automatically telnet in 
when the mac was booted. The problems are listed below:
1. Login timed out after 60s if i didn't login
2. I couldn't ssh the connection (am using niftytelnet on the mac)
Any help would be great, the mac is running OS 7.?.?
Also is it possible to not have to type in the IP and be able to type in 
the computer name? the mac is using TCP/IP
Thanks
Tim
