If you have X running, and are logged in, you could use the xlogmaster 
package. You can then set up a regexp to find the telnet connections
in /var/log/daemon log. You can then tell xlogmaster zu play a sound,
or pop up a window, or execute a command.

There will be better suited solutions I believe.
