Sara,
RH ships telnet off by default, as the other posters have said, you need to set the
xinet configuration file to switch telnet on.
Other things to watch - probably when you go live rather than during a trial as this
is how it happened to us...
1. Xinet limits the concurrent telnet
Sara,
You should look at the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file. Make sure
that disabled is set to no (or commented out). You want to also look
for a line that says only_from and comment that out. Run
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart and you should be good.

Sara,
You need to:
vi /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and set disabled to no, save and then run
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

DISCLAIMER: This electronic message
Sara,
how is telnet running? Is xinetd or similar limiting who can connect?
Does Connect Failed message return immediately? perhaps the linux box cannot
do a reverse lookup on the NT4 box?
Try SSHing to the linux -- SSH is more likely to be configured for access
out of the box.
