.bashrc not getting executed

On a Solaris 8 server, my .bashrc does not get executed when I telnet
into it. But it does get executed when I am directly on the console. I
know I must be missing some file, but on the surface it looks like
exactly the same setup I have on another server, which always sources
the .bashrc.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
