You could make a special port ready that will give a login besides the
standard telnet port.  So when you want to get in just 
telnet hostname 9452  But if someone strobes the system then it would be
found.  Also you can setup your machine to only accect telnets from a 
set of hosts and use another machine of yours to login from.
