You are right, on Windows 2000 I get an error about needing 
administrative priveleges even though I am logged in as Administrator :) 
  Oh well, if you are going to misinterpret command-line parameters, you 
might was well throw errors about priveleges to get people on the wrong 
track :)

Is there any reason you are using telnet server instead of sshd under 
Cygwin?

It is really easy to setup and you can run remote X apps pretty easily. 
  First install the openssh package, then from a Cygwin prompt run 
'ssh-host-config'.  Answer yes to the prompt to register it as a service 
and don't forget to either restart or start the service manually after 
installation.

You can then edit /etc/sshd_config and set X11Forwarding to yes, as follows:

X11Forwarding yes


Then restart the CYGWIN sshd service again and you are in business.  For 
info on how to run X apps over ssh, see the User's Guide:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html#using-remote-apps-ssh


With all of that being said, I am sure you have a really good reason for 
not using ssh or requiring telnet, but at least this is documented for 
anyone searching on similar info later.
