Henry, 

Firstly, can you please ensure that you only reply to the list and not
to me personally.  This keeps the whole 'mailing list' idea alive and
well.

Second, I would check the syntax of hosts.allow (man hosts.allow). Its
been a long time since I used it (ssh/xinetd took its place) but I know
you're missing something

I would also make the suggestion that telnet is an insecure tool for
remote access and should be used with caution.  Consider using ssh in
its place.
