It appear you are using solaris 10. in previous versions of sun telnet use to work just like that.
u can check your version by
Code:
uname -a
SunOS xxxx-oam 5.10 Generic_137111-01 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5240

try following
Code:
svcs -a | grep telnet
online         Jun_24   svc:/network/telnet:default

if its not online
Code:
svcadm  enable svc:/network/telnet:default

check again
Code:
svcs -a | grep telnet

@mtomar:
1: Instead of typing
Code:
svcs -a | grep telnet

you can use the simpler
Code:
svcs "*telnet*"

or even
Code:
svcs telnet

2: Instead of using
Code:
svcadm  enable svc:/network/telnet:default

you can use the simpler
Code:
svcadm  enable telnet

or better
Code:
svcadm  enable -t telnet

(as I already suggested) to avoid leaving the machine indefinitely at risk.
