By secure they probably mean they have closed the telnet port.

You may have to edit your /etc/inetd.conf file so it contains a line

telnet  stream  tcp6     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd

Same for FTP, it's probably disabled.

If you enable them, your systems wont be "secure" as they define it. If 
you want to leave it as it is, you probably have a SSH daemon running 
and sould use "ssh" to obtain a remote terminal and "scp" to copy files 
remotely.
