[LIH] enabling port

[vineet]

Hi,
   I wanted to know how to enable a given port number . Eg: 
        if I write  telnet localohost 110
    it says connection refused.
  How do i enable it? I've checked the /etc/services file. But how to go
about it?
110 actually belongs to POP.
Waiting for a prompt reply
thanks in advance.
