You use OpenSSH Server, I think it's in extras-devel(or testing). Then you would need to use a SSH client such as PuTTY.
It's not telnet though, so if you for some reason must use that then I don't know.

You want a telnet client or server?
You can just recompile and optify the regular ubuntu client/server. It will work.

hi robb ... just enable extra-devel and goto app manager, search for telnet, u will find client and server. Install the client one.

If I could Iīd double thank you.
For anyone using extra-devel: remember to disable. It saves ~11MB of your rootfs.

Just to clarify for the non-hackers out there: the point of having telnet isn't to be able to log in to other machines; nobody uses it for that any more.
The point of telnet is network debugging. There's nothing like "telnet foo 25" or "telnet foo 80" or even "telnet foo 22" for quickly finding out what's going on with your packets.
Netcat is an alternative, but an inferior one.

The only way that netcat is inferior to telnet for checking a port is open is that telnet used to be installed by default on many operating systems.
This is no longer the case. So if you need to install something, netcat may as well be your choice as it gives you far more options. socat is also in the repositories.
netcat -v <ip address> <port>
socat - tcp4:<ipaddress>:<port>

Unfortunatly I can't find telnet (even after gaining root).
Any ideas?
