That command does not turn the service on. It just creates the runlevel
links from default init script settings.

No, it does not reload but restart, means stop and start. To enable the
telnet server through xinetd the proper command is

service xinetd reload

which reloads by sending a kill -HUP to the process.

P.S. As a warning to Barry: telnet is very insecure. I do not know what
you are testing in the field of security, but be very careful what you
are doing with the telnet daemon running.
