Yeah, I indeed meant the iptables line .

Something in the vein of
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -i wlan0 -p tcp --dport telnet -j ACCEPT
should do the trick. (+ UDP if needed, I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the telnet protocol and can't remember how much of UDP is blocked by the default rules.)
Did that exact line, but didn't work for me. telnet is TCP, so that line on its own should be fine as far as I know.

When I do a ps -x I notice that a sshd is running, but no telnet equivalent. What is the name of the executable that should be running that serves telnet?

Also ... where are TELNET_DAEMON and TELNET_DAEMON_OPTS defined? I can't find them.
