I've only been scanning this thread, so some of this may be redundant.

Try this:
[root paradox slinky]# service xinetd status
xinetd (pid 483) is running...

If that fails, you need to get xinetd running.
# chkconfig xinetd on
# service xinetd start

Have you installed the telnet-server package? 
[mfratoni paradox mfratoni]$ rpm -q telnet-server
package telnet-server is not installed

[mfratoni paradox mfratoni]$ whichcd -v 8.0 telnet-server

Searching for telnet-server...
CD-2:telnet-server-0.17-23.i386.rpm

If it is not installed, do so, and then run:

# chkconfig telnet on

The above command will reload xinetd and make the server available.
Assuming of course that no firewall is blocking connections.

At a minimum, you should be able to try:
'telnet localhost'
and get a connection.
