So first of all:-
- Why are you targeting port 15001? Port 15001 is not a standard port number that I am aware of. I presume you have some reason for it.
- Is the port in /etc/services? Could you post the output from grep 15001 /etc/services
- Is the service in /etc/inetd.conf? Using the name returned above (e.g. my-svc tcp/15001) could you post the output from grep my-svc /etc/inetd.conf
- Is the server listening? On the target server, could you run netstat -na|grep 15001 and post the response. If you have lsof installed, could you post the output from lsof -i tcp:15001
- Is the listener logging an error, if you know where it would?
From your telnet attempt, it would suggest that the server is listening, but doesn't respond to telnet, and why should it. It is presumably a different service.
What more can you tell us?
Thanks, in advance,

SERVICES(5) Linux Programmer's Manual SERVICES(5)
NAME
services - Internet network services list
DESCRIPTION
services is a plain ASCII file providing a mapping between human-friendly textual names for internet services, and their underlying
assigned port numbers and protocol types. Every networking program should look into this file to get the port number (and protocol) for
its service. The C library routines getservent(3), getservbyname(3), getservbyport(3), setservent(3), and endservent(3) support querying
this file from programs.
Port numbers are assigned by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and their current policy is to assign both TCP and UDP proto-
cols when assigning a port number. Therefore, most entries will have two entries, even for TCP-only services.
Port numbers below 1024 (so-called "low numbered" ports) can be bound to only by root (see bind(2), tcp(7), and udp(7)). This is so
clients connecting to low numbered ports can trust that the service running on the port is the standard implementation, and not a rogue
service run by a user of the machine. Well-known port numbers specified by the IANA are normally located in this root-only space.
The presence of an entry for a service in the services file does not necessarily mean that the service is currently running on the machine.
See inetd.conf(5) for the configuration of Internet services offered. Note that not all networking services are started by inetd(8), and
so won't appear in inetd.conf(5). In particular, news (NNTP) and mail (SMTP) servers are often initialized from the system boot scripts.
The location of the services file is defined by _PATH_SERVICES in <netdb.h>. This is usually set to /etc/services.
Each line describes one service, and is of the form:
service-name port/protocol [aliases ...]
where:
service-name
is the friendly name the service is known by and looked up under. It is case sensitive. Often, the client program is named
after the service-name.
port is the port number (in decimal) to use for this service.
protocol is the type of protocol to be used. This field should match an entry in the protocols(5) file. Typical values include tcp and
udp.
aliases is an optional space or tab separated list of other names for this service. Again, the names are case sensitive.
Either spaces or tabs may be used to separate the fields.
Comments are started by the hash sign (#) and continue until the end of the line. Blank lines are skipped.
The service-name should begin in the first column of the file, since leading spaces are not stripped. service-names can be any printable
characters excluding space and tab. However, a conservative choice of characters should be used to minimize compatibility problems. For
example, a-z, 0-9, and hyphen (-) would seem a sensible choice.
Lines not matching this format should not be present in the file. (Currently, they are silently skipped by getservent(3), getservby-
name(3), and getservbyport(3). However, this behavior should not be relied on.)
This file might be distributed over a network using a network-wide naming service like Yellow Pages/NIS or BIND/Hesiod.
A sample services file might look like this:
netstat 15/tcp
qotd 17/tcp quote
msp 18/tcp # message send protocol
msp 18/udp # message send protocol
chargen 19/tcp ttytst source
chargen 19/udp ttytst source
ftp 21/tcp
# 22 - unassigned
telnet 23/tcp
