You may want to try re-installing telnetd on your system.
I also remembering seeing a similar message like that when
trying to login into the terminal when I had a custom runlevel
with most daemons turned off. Perhaps check to see that all your
daemons are running properly.
And as others have mentioned prior, ssh is better.
Sounds like you'll use it instead.
