By convention telnetd uses this port, but it's an arbitrary relationship. I'm not attempting to discredit anyone's theories as to what the OP was actually trying to do, but just for the record telnetd could potentially be running on _any_ port. I only mention this to point out that the statement above may not be correct in all configurations i.e. telnetd could be listing on tcp port 61, though it's highly unlikely.
