It looks to me as if your Linux box may in fact not be working
correctly.  telnet tries to resolve the name of the calling system,
and it will time out after about a minute.  I'm guessing that your
FreeBSD box can't resolve the name.  After you log in on the telnet,
try this:

  $ who am i

If the name in parentheses is a number, then telnet can't perform the
reverse lookup.  I'd be interested in whether your Linux box is able
to perform the lookup, or whether it just ignores the error.
