SSH is a replacement for telnet, and you do not need the telnet service to
use SSH.
This will help narrow down the problem a bit:
When you try and fail to connect with SSH, what happens instead of a
successful connection? What OS and SSH are you using? Are you running sshd
via inetd or as a standalone daemon? If as a daemon, are you sure that the
sshd is running? Are you using TCP wrappers with sshd, and what do your
/etc/hosts.allow/deny files look like?
