Is your name server already functioning?
at least in 2.2 there is a line in /etc/hosts.deny, that prevents "any host whose name does not match its address" to login.

So you installed the name server, during installation "nameserver 127.0.0.1" was put at the top of /etc/resolv.conf.
If named is up telnet contacts it and hangs, because of a potential misconfiguration.
If named is down telnet picks up the next nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

I don't know what's happening here
