This is just a guess, but it sounds like there is no telnet daemon running to answer your connection request. Try using smitty menu interface to find where you enable or disable telnet. I don't know the exact path through the menus to get there unfortunately. Maybe google "smitty enable telnet" or something similar and hopefully you can find step by step instructions.
I know lots of OSes will have telnet disabled by default since it is such a big security risk, and you have to enable it if you want telnet to work. I'm not sure if that is the case for AIX 4, but could be.
