I _did_, and I still would want to know what possible valid reason there
could be for running a telnet server.  My best bet would be because he's
coming through a firewall that doesn't allow the ssh port - in which case
I'd run an ssh daemon on the telnet port.  My second best bet is because
he's coming from a Windows client, which doesn't have ssh; in which case
I'd install putty or cygwin.
