You need to use nohup.  When you log out of your telnet session (the
shell, actually) a HUP (hang-up) signal is sent to all of the processes
that are children of the shell.  A normal application responds to a HUP by
exiting.  The nohup program (man nohup) is a wrapper around your process
that causes it to ignore HUP signals, so it will continue to run in the
background after you log out.
