Telnet is a part of inetd and most of inetd services you should never
run.  Put this in your /etc/rc.conf file:

inetd_enable=3D"YES"

Also, there are a lot of good primers about setting up a desktop for
the first-time.  Check out http://daemonnews.org/new2bsd/.  Some of it
is outdated but the rest should be good.  I always think it is good to
invest in a book.  If you are planning on sticking with BSD, it helps
immeasurably in the beginning, plus it helps support the BSD
community.
