I think that´s a Netscape related problem. Actually I´m so fed up with
Netscape that I don´t use it anymore...

You should have an entry like this in "/etc/inetd.conf":
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
If it still doesn´t work after you uncomment this line, have a look if there
is a file "in.telnetd" in "/usr/sbin". If not, you have to install the telnet
-server rpm (There are two telnet rpm´s, telnet-server and telnet-client), it
should work then.
