That was my simple, first attempt before posting my message.

I changed the port to 33 in cygwin's /etc/services.

  Stopped inetd.
  Exited all cygwin shells.
  Restarted a shell.
  Restarted inetd.

No go.  The connection seems to be made (remote end does not see connection
refused), but it hangs and never gives a login prompt.  Reseting the port
to 23 restores the service.

Also, the windows telnet service will not start.  That may be unrelated.
