Don't. Use ssh for remote root login, it is far more secure.
But if you are on a local trusted LAN and still want to continue, you can
log in as a normal user and su to root. If you still want to log in as
root directly (really a bad idea), add these lines to /etc/securetty:
pts/0
pts/1
pts/2
...
(but it could be ttyp0, ttyp1, I am not sure. Do a 'who' on the computer
you telnet to).

NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
(also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a
*real* 32-bit system.
