You can view what ports or services are open on your machine by
running the netstat command.

e.g. "netstat -anf inet" or "netstat -af inet" if you aren't sure
about what services are associated with what port numbers.

"man 1 netstat" for more information.

PS - I believe telnet is not enabled by default.

Hope this helps.
