    You can view what ports or services are open on your machine by
    running the netstat command.

    e.g. "netstat -anf inet" or "netstat -af inet" if you aren't sure
    about what services are associated with what port numbers.

    "man 1 netstat" for more information.

    PS - I believe telnet is not enabled by default.

    Hope this helps.
