Cannot get tramp launched / and also : telnet+ftp

[Stéphane Senesi]

Hello,

I recently discovered TRAMP through http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/, 
and it should fit my needs perfectly. However :

When trying to use it, all find-file actions with a tramp-like syntax 
end in an efs action, and so try to use ftp.
This occurs in the following context
   - tramp-default-method is set to "telnet"
   - no "~/.netrc" file
   - tramp version 2.0.55
   - Xemacs 21.4.21
and I see no way to launch it (rather than efs) explicitly by a user command

I probably missed some basic setting, but I cannot figure which one, and 
was not able to find it neither in the above qutoed doc, nor in the 
tramp-devel mail list archive

Additionnaly, I would like to combine, for the same host, the telnet 
method (for grep, eshell ...) and the ftp method (for file transfer), 
but it seems that there is no provision for that in Tramp ?

Thanks if you can help
