If you had to enable inetd, it means it was the first time it was
executed, maybe "/etc/rc.d/inetd start" would be better as it was not
started before.

Are you sure that inetd is running?

    ps auwx|grep inetd

Are you sure that your machine is listening on telnet port?

    netstat -a |grep telnet
