I'm not quite following what you are saying.. Are you wanting to
access the telnet service from redhat? If so, why not just use the
normal telnet port (TCP 23)...

Also, in general, you DO NOT want the ports you list (in particular)
accessible via the internet... Why not secure the machine and only
allow something like OpenSSH (http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/)
which will allow terminal access and the ability to tunnel access to
these other ports. Or, not quite a UNIX solution, set up a PPTP or
L2TP VPN connection...
