Well, there's your problem. try

rcinetd start

If that says 'done' and not 'failed', try ps aux|grep inetd again. If it's 
running now, try telnetting. It should work (fingers crossed :), and you can 
edit /etc/rc.config changing the line START_INETD= to "yes". That will make 
inetd start automatically on bootup.

And I agree with Ben. If you have to use telnet from a machine on the net, 
make sure you never use an important password, like roots, not even with 
'su'. Remember that everything you do is transmitted in cleartext.
