It looks like you downloaded inetutils on 11/28/2001, but they didn't
get installed. If you run setup again and select the inetutils-x.x.x
package to be installed, it should put telnet in /usr/bin/telnet.
There is also a cygwin-xfree mailing list that might be able to help you
with the xhost stuff, but hopefully the only problem is the missing
inetutils/telnet.
