I recommend using ssh.  I use it for almost all telnetting,  rshing,  etc.
from my machine -- it automatically sets up display stuff correctly -- I
can ssh from venus to jupiter in an xterm,  run an xprogram on jupiter,
and it'll show up on my venus display without me doing ANYTHING else.
Besides which,  ssh is much more secure than telnet.

The only caveat is that you have to run sshd on both machines -- you can't
ssh to a machine that isn't running sshd.
