I don't know way you can't ssh or telnet from the linux command prompt, but what computer are you trying to connect to? Are you trying to the computer you are on? I tried it on my Redhat 7.3 machine, and I can do it, but I don't know why you would want to. I sounds like you may be wanting to ssh from you windows machine to your linux machine (your firewall I think you said). If you try Putty and it doesn't work tell me what it says.
I check on webmin, there is a "configure module" button where you can change the setting on the Telnet/SSH client module to use ssh instead of telnet. I did notice however that the SSH uses java, so if you haven't downloaded it from Sun and installed it that module may not work.
