In Windows NT Server, there is an Administrative Tool application called Event Viewer. With this application, you can view system events, application events, and security events. Certain applications have their own event viewers, and/or generate their own log files. One way to log telnet access on your NT network is to install MS Proxy Server on your machine that will be connected to the outside world, and then tell Proxy Server to log traffic coming in on TCP/IP port 23. Proxy Server is a very efficient firewall, and when configured properly, will allow everyone behind it to connect to the Internet, and keep the hackers out of your internal network.
