I'm assuming this is NT (i'm looking at the all questions option which doesn't give the category). To reboot a remote machine (as long as you have admin rights on it (IE domain admin) then your best option is shutdown.exe from the reskit - this has an added gui called (imaginatively) shutgui.exe, also in the reskit. A further assumption of mine is that your use of telnet is not a strict requirement, as shutdown will work from the command line of your machine, and reboot the server remotely.
BTW a better option than telnet for remote sessions (depending on your requirements) is the reskit util rcmd (or remote console). This opens up a command session on your machine that actually runs on the remote machine - very useful. Hope I'm on targetwith all of this...
