Telnetd is definitely NOT needed here.

Wrong syntax -- it is "telnet host" for the standard telnet port 
or "telnet host port" for other ports.

Correct syntax, but no service on port 23 (standard port for telnet).

Correct syntax, but no service on port 8080.

Now service telnet is running on port 23, as expected -> successfully 
connected.

You didn't install a service for port 8080 -- no change here.

I don't know anything about that oracle database, but obviously you want 
it to listen on port 8080. Therefore, please check if the setup of the 
database is correct. From your previous post:

| Listening on: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=quecaixa.rio)
| (PORT=1521))) 

Maybe it is listening on the wrong port 1521.
