I have not come across a Linksys router that has a telnet interface. I had a Cisco and a Netgear that did have telnet interfaces though. I bet there is a way to telnet/ssh into one of the Linksys WRT54g's though since it runs Linux 2.4.5 with some modifications. There is a group that is hacking these to make a Wifi mesh.
