Sounds like iptables and tcp wrappers are working?
Or you haven't enabled telnetd?

No, it wouldn't be running unless someone has connected via telnet.

Right you don't start telnet by hand, its invoked from inetd,or rather xinetd.

inetd has been replaced by xinetd, which does seem to have some advantages.

Why not run "ntsysv", and select telnet?
Or, edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and then type "service xinetd restart".

That's as it should be
There is one thing - telnet is not a good thing to have running, you really want to use secure shell instead. If you have any concern at all for security that is.
Finally, this has nothing to do with kernel development, so try to reserve this list for actual kernel related questions.
