If you have updated your firmware, you may no longer have telnet capability. However, you do get SSH in the newer firmware. To check if you have SSH capability, look for a file named ssh-disabled in the .kobo directory. To enable SSH, rename that file to ssh-enabled and you should now be able to do an SSH connection with root as the username. The first time, you will be prompted to enter the password. I've quoted the contents of the ssh-disabled file below:

To enable ssh:
- Rename this file to ssh-enabled
- Reboot the device
- Connect via: ssh root@<device_ip>
