Elena,

In Windows Explorer you will not always see a c:\cygwin\usr\bin directory.
Cygwin stores its binaries in c:\cygwin\bin and /usr/bin is just a link to
/bin. Thus, in a Cygwin bash shell if you do an `ls /usr/bin' you'll see the
contents of c:\cygwin\bin. Make sense? Good.

You need to manually select inetutils in order to get telnet.
Heh... look more closely at the User's Guide. On this page:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-downloading.html
it says:
"The default selection of packages should be okay for most users. However, you
may wish to ensure that the inetutils and openssh packages are selected if you
wish to use telnet and ssh to connect to remote machines."
