Ooo...forgot the most important part. Does your /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file have "disable = yes" in it?
If so, telnet won't run. You can either manually edit that file so it says "disable = no", or you can do the following, as root: chkconfig telnet on service xinetd restart In either case (manual or chkconfig), you'll need to run the "service xinetd restart" command, to get xinetd to reload the telnet configuration file.
