Type "telnet://" (minus the " obviously) into your web browswer and hit return. It's the easiest way. Works for me.

If you want to access your system remotely, I would recommend port 22, using SSH ... Secure SHell can provide you the functionality with much lowered risk to your system.
If your box is Linux or UNIX based, then SSH is built in ...

On the other hand if you are running Windoze, it'll cost ya.

Use SSH here is a link to the deamon to run on windows: http://lexa.mckenna.edu/sshwindows/ then just use putty or cygwin to connect
