I'm pretty sure that you have an ipchains/iptables rule that is disabling this. The 300 posts on this topic have confirmed that telnet is running out of xinetd properly. For a quick dirty check flush your ipchains (ipchains -F) and try to telnet. Or post the output of ipchains -L to this list. Either way I'm pretty sure that "medium" security at install will setup rules to disallow incoming telnet connections.
