Please look at your /etc/inetd.conf file. Is there an entry for
telnetd which is not commented out? If there is something unusual
in your /etc/inetd.conf please send me a copy of the file via email.

You should also check your eth0/lo/slip interfaces. Just type
"ifconfig". Maybe the interfaces are not configured correctly. Or your
routing entries are wrong ("route" or "netstat -r").
