how do I open the telnet port so I can telnet my machine over the Internet with pw verification now when I try to telnet my Ip he said connection refused

Put the line telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd in /etc/inetd.conf (or uncomment this line if it's commented out) and check if inetd is running. If it is already running call /sbin/init.d/inetd reload to activate the changed configuration. Otherwise set START_INETD=yes in /etc/rc.config and call /sbin/init.d/inetd start to start inetd immediatly and after each reboot.
