on Fedora 24, I've installed the "telnet-server" with

But, still, I cannot login. I'm getting "Connection refused". Seems that it is not enabled.

I would ask why you would choose a telnet server over ssh but assuming you had a good reason...


Yes, I have a good reason :-)
It's on a local network and I want to test a telnet client running on an 8-bit machine. ssh would be a bit
too heavy for a 6502....



 
What else do I need to do?

Have you changed the firewall setting to allow incoming connections?


No. I think I had the firewall disabled on this machine (long before)...



Assuming you have a full desktop (not a CLI only install) you want firewall-config if you don't have it already installed.



... firewall-config loops endlessly with "Trying to connect to firewalld, waiting..."


Also, "netstat -tuna | grep :23" doesn't show an open port at 23. So I think no one is listening on the telnet (23) port.
