Most information is in /usr/doc/Cygwin/
in the various README's, like for inetutils, openssh, cygrunsrv which
probably are the first you're looking for now.
There are also a lot of 'recipes' in the mailing list archives.
Maybe you need to install some of the packages first if there are no docs.
Let me suggest also that it is probably more interesting to run sshd and
connect with ssh to your box than it is with telnet;)
