If you're running telnet with inetd, you just need to make a simple
change to inetd.conf.  Say your current telnetd line looks like this:

telnet  stream tcp nowait root  /usr/libexec/telnetd   telnetd

The first word in the line says "telnet" but what that really means
is that /etc/services is consulted for what port/protocol "telnet"
uses.  If you look at /etc/services you'll see something like this:

telnet          23/tcp

If you changed that number to 24 and restarted inetd, you'd have inetd
listening for telnet connections on port 24.
