Hello,

You are probably looking for the openssh-server package. Which can be installed using synaptic, or the command line.
sudo apt-get install openssh-server

http://www.openssh.com/

This does work. Being a geezer, I would prefer telnet, but
I guess ssh is the wave of the future.

Thanks

If you really, really want telnet, then telnetd would be what you are looking for. Just have to account for everything being sent across the network/internet in plain text.
