Don't know. Might be a kernel compile issue or something, or it might be
related to the second issue. Not sure.

This one's easy. Telnet explicitly asks the system for the default port
number for telnet service. If you don't have a valid /etc/services file
(with telnet listed), it won't be able to do so, and it will fail. If you
specify a port number by hand (e.g. telnet foo.com 23), it should work.
Or you can just put in an /etc/services file.
Later,
David
