It can, but you cannot use the same name for it (since it's just an
alias for the port number only). You can either invent any name and
put this into /etc/services (e.g. ``telnet2''), or in that case,
simply run a telnetd on the `http' service (aka. port):
http stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd
