Hi,
Can you login from console?
To start with check the followings
#who -r to check the run level
#cat /etc/inetd.conf|grep telnet
make sure that there is no # before telnet
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd -b /etc/issue
#ps -ef|grep telnet
Can you ping that server ?

logon to the server and check to make sure
inetd is running.

Hi,
Step 1:
check /etc/inetd.conf file , if telnetd line commented do uncomment and run
#inetd -c

If this process didn't give you the desired result then
step 2:
#cd /dev
check the owner and permission for tty files
permision should be rw for all(0666) and should be character files, and the owner must be bin and group tty (bin:tty), if still not working then do
#insf -e( this will install all pseudo files)
