Did you check that the telnet daemon you are using will accept
connections on a port other then 23? Depending on the daemon used,
it may only accept port 23 connections unless it is in the debug mode.

You may also run into problems with /etc/services. From the
xinetd.conf man page:

port  determines the service port. If this attribute is specified
      for a service listed in /etc/services, it must be equal to
      the port number listed in that file.
