Don't use telnet.  Use ssh.  Cygwin's sshd is fully functional.  If you
must use telnet then use Cygwin's inetd.

If you want to use X apps remotely you need to be running an X server on
the remote machine and have your DISPLAY environment variable set.  The
latter is taken care of for you if you use ssh with the -X option.  Go
read any faq about X Windows.  And this applies to X apps only, not
native windows apps.
