Is a trip > to the console the only way?? When i saw the subject line I thought someone was gloating over getting rid of telnet having installed something like ssh as a replacement. Installing ssh won't save you a trip to the console if it's currently required, since you need access before you can install ssh. Once you're back up though you might consider installing ssh and running it as a daemon, (not through inetd) so that it acts as a backup access method in case your problem returns.
