Spell out your words.

And there's not much we can tell you from what you posted. What version/distro of Linux? Have you checked the log files, and what do they say? Have you contacted your VPS provider, to ask them if they ALLOW telnet, since it's VERY unsafe and insecure??

Ok...CentOS WHAT??? 4? 5? And where is this hosted (at your location, or is it a 'virtual' server on the Internet?) And the other questions were:

Have you checked the log files, and what do they say?
Have you contacted your VPS provider, to ask them if they ALLOW telnet, since it's VERY unsafe and insecure??

Please provide details, and perhaps we can help.

@charanjaitu: Is the use of telnet integral to your training? Unless the answer is a definitive "yes", use ssh instead. With some (unfortunate) exceptions, there's no reason to be using telnet in this day and age.
