You actually want to change /etc/inetd.conf instead. There's a
line that looks something like this:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd
Change it to call your program instead, e.g.
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/something/node node
That way, the service number for telnet hasn't changed, but the
program that gets called for incoming telnet connections, has.
