Don't use telnet. it's clumsy and has security issues.

Use ssh with RSA or DSA keys. Then you simply do:

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

in an xterm and you are loggedis as user username on server
machinename. It's vastly more secure and more reliable. 

If you're talking about initial setup of a machine (OS installation or
whatever), our solution was to have a post-install CD or floppy which
fetched standard server configuration data. This included an ssh
public key for our ssh-key distribution, so after running the
post-install disc, we could push out staff ssh-keys and logins were
available.
