The telnet service probably has been disabled or not started. Check /etc/services to see if the telnet service is remarked out. If it is remarked out, remove the "#" and type at the command prompt: service telnet start. If it isn't remarked out, type "service telnet status" at a command prompt. You should get a reply from the system that the service is started or not started. If it's not started, type this at the command prompt: service telnet start The system should reply that telnet is started. If the status request returns "telnet: unrecognized service", telnet has been disabled somewhere. I hope this helps you resolve at least some of your problems.
