The method is to:

add the following to /etc/inetd.conf:

   telnet2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.telnetd in.telnetd

And the following to /etc/services:

   telnet2 5700/tcp # Emulates terminal server

Lastly, reinitilize init by "kill -HUP 1" .

BTW, this method works for other daemons which need to listen at other TCP
port number/s.

Thanks again to all who replied and if I miss out anyone whom credit should
be due, I apologise.
