Well ... it has been a long time since I've run either telnetd -OR- EigerStein. Failed connect attempts are usually logged in the standard /var/log/messages log file, and I imagine EigerStein was standard on this. So you might look there for further information.
But it reads like you installed a version of telnetd that will not work with EigerStein. Not a kernel conflicts, but a libc6 conflict -- EigerStein supplies glibc-2.0.something_or_other, and the telnetd from Slackware 8.0 almost surely wants glibc-2.1.something_or_other. You need to find a telnetd that is compiled to use the correct libc6. Since it's telnet ... not my favorite service ... I can't really tell you offhand where one is located. Check for one on the EigerStein part of Charles' site, I guess, or look for an older Linux distro (Debian Slink, for example) that used glibc-2.0.x. BTW, just a terminology correction -- you didn't "restart" inetd with the kill command; you just told it to re-read its setup file (what I referred to as "re-HUP'ing inetd"). Restarting -- using either the polite-but-blockable SIGTERM or the unblockable SIGKILL -- actually terminates the existing process and starts a brand-new one with a new pid.
