Seems that it is not enabled.
I would ask why you would choose a telnet server over ssh but assuming
you had a good reason...
Yes, I have a good reason :-)
It's on a local network and I want to test a telnet client running on an
8-bit machine. ssh would be a bit
too heavy for a 6502....
What else do I need to do?
Have you changed the firewall setting to allow incoming connections?
No. I think I had the firewall disabled on this machine (long before)...
Assuming you have a full desktop (not a CLI only install) you want
firewall-config if you don't have it already installed.
... firewall-config loops endlessly with "Trying to connect to
firewalld, waiting..."
Also, "netstat -tuna | grep :23" doesn't show an open port at 23. So I
think no one is listening on the telnet (23) port.
