Hey Tina ...
... Here's some fodder for an article...  Seems those 'viral'
operating systems are "much more robust" than the NT
counterpart.

SUMMARY
  This article summarizes how INTEREX uses Telnetd.
  MORE INFORMATION
  Interix does not use a Win32 telnet server, but instead uses
a port from the telnetd program from the 4.4
  BSD-Lite distribution. This telnet server is much more
robust than the Win32 telnet server native to
  Microsoft Windows NT.
  You can run the telnetd program from a command prompt, or
install it as a Windows NT service. By
  default, telnetd runs on port 23, the telnet port.
  Login Shell: All users log on to the Interix shell /bin/ksh.
