If you are starting telnetd from inetd, the 'max' number of
server instances is separated from the wait/nowait entry by
a period. ('man inetd.conf')

If you are starting telnetd from xinetd, add an instances = n
line to the stanza for telnetd. ('man xinetd.conf')

I think a lot of folks would argue that the proper maximum
nowadays is 0... which you can do by removing telnetd from
your xinetd.conf file.  :-)
