	Using your fave editor open 
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet

See below:
--------------------------------------

# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses
# \
#       unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream        
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = yes
}

-------------------------------------------

	Change  disable         = yes to  disable         = no

then restart xinetd with this command:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

	You should now have telnet running.

	Usual caveats apply.

	Use the same proceedure to turn on ftp etc.
