Telnet is the client software, did you enable telnetd (the server) on your intended server? It probably needs installing, as by default its disabled if not uninstalled. – guiverc May 17 '18 at 09:58

Do not use telnet. There's zero reason not to use ssh. It's more capable, and secure. – vidarlo May 17 '18 at 10:04
