you should config kernel, with, 

Device Drivers --> Character devices -->  [*] Legacy (BSD) PTY support  (10) Maximum number of legacy PTY in use  you should use inetd from ~/apps/inetd, and use telnetd from ~/uClinux-dist-test/user/telnetd

after I enabled the BSD PTY devices in menuconfig the message changed from "All network ports in use" to garbage characters. Obviously the device can be opened now but then the telnetd got stuck. What could this be?

found out myself, 

all is working but I started the telnetd the wrong way. telnetd should be started by inetd and not by invoking /bin/telnetd &. telnetd only shows up in the process list when a session is started from a remote host.
