Problem was in fstab... I didn't have none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0 in there, because I had saved my fstab from my previous install of Caldera ( hey, the filesystems aren't gonna change, right? ) and used that with this install of Mandrake. After much digging, I found this solution in some Usenet postings from June.

Connected to my_box_name. Escape character is '^]'. telnetd: All network ports in use. So, I'm still confused.

I'd make sure you have both the telnet client and the telnet server.
