type 

add route 128.200.244.188 127.0.0.1

I take it 128.200.244.188 is your IP address.

Then you'll be able to easily telnet back into your machine. The rest
seems fine.

FreeBSD box or Linux box just means the OS, you could call it slang, and
pardon the confusion I might of caused you with the term.

That doesnt look right.
Try it like this

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 valentine.bsd.com valentine

Although I must say the second IP look sort of strange.

The routing command I showed you above should get you to route your
packets back to your loopback driver (localhost) when you telnet to your
internet IP. /etc/hosts is only for lookups and its best kept simple as
not to confuse any applications. Especially by having 2 hosts under 2 IPs.
I dont recommened that.
