I don't know how to run telnet as a standalone service. in.telnetd is for telnet sessions initiated by inetd. Open your /etc/inetd.conf file and make sure the line with in.telnetd is uncommented. Then, if inetd is already running, restart it (killall -HUP inetd) and if it's not, just start it (inetd &). You should now be able to telnet in.

Generally, any daemon that starts with "in" is meant to be run from a superserver rather than as a standalone daemon. Many of them CAN be run as standalone daemons, but you usually have to pass command-line arguments to them... check the manpage if you absolutely want to run it standalone.
