 You're hitting the telnet port so hard that you managed to DOS the
 service.  There are ways to limit the connections that inetd accepts.
 Try using the following line in inetd.conf:
 
 telnet  stream  tcp     nowait/20/10  root    /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd
 
 Also look at the -c, -C and -R options of inetd :)
