Telnet gets run by inetd. Therefore the daemon is started only when
there is an incoming connection, it does not run permanently. 

I would suggest you follow this road:

Reconsider the whole telnet approach.

Ok, if you still want to use it:
* Check if the package telnet-ssl can help you do ssl-over-telnet.
* Read this link to understand how to configure inetd's security:
http://www.userlocal.com/security/securinginetdetc.php
* Edit /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow to set up access rights
* Setup a firewall to set up access rights
* Search the repositories for "inetd", and install one of the available
inetd packages
* Try to connect by telnet
* Test your security setup diligently (can you access if you don't match
the firewall and /etc/hosts.* rules?)

Good luck,
