telnetd was completely removed from the source tree around the end of may, soon after 3.7 was released. As far as an alternative, why does sshd not work? There are ssh daemons for almost all other operating systems, unless maybe you're using OpenVMS or Plan9 (although I think there is at least one for those as well, just not OpenSSH).
