You shouldn't touch the standard ports (basically, anything that comes
with your system) in /etc/services. If you want to make a telnet
daemon listen through inetd/xinetd on a different port then you should
define a new port name (e.g. mytelnet) and re-configure inetd with
that port name.
As for the telnet client - you can specify a specific port number (telnet
default is 23) as the second argument to telnet (after the host address)
