This does not suggest telnetd is running, as no process of these is
telnetd.

Use "sv status telnetd" to check, it probably says "down: ...".

If you still use socklog-unix, look at /var/log/socklog/daemon/current

Else try to start the telnetd run script manually and look for errors:
/var/service/telnetd/run

Else post the script, it seems to be manually created.

As telnetd classically needs to be started from inetd, you need to use
some tcpserver to launch it (djb tcpserver or s6-tcpserver).
