Getting Telnet running on ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Not considered SSH, it is secure. Telnet is not secure in any way....

The client application that I'm using can only support Telnet, therefore I'm stuck with this transport.
Any help with this would be most appreciated.

Can you give the output of:

sudo apt-get install telnetd; lsb_release -a

Thanks

Sorry for the late response, Many Thanks Paul.

Hello,

Thanks for all your advice so far, but can you please tell me what I need to do next?

Cheers.

You can test by running:

telnet localhost

on the system running telnet. You should be able to connect.
