export is a shell built-in.  If you don't have it, it's because your shell
doesn't.  What shell are you running?

Check /etc/inetd.conf -- all inetd services are controlled from there.
Un-comment the telnet line, exit, save, and go "killall -HUP inetd" to
restart inetd.  You'll be able to telnet then.

Now it's time for the obligatory telnet thing: don't use telnet, it's
insecure, unencrypted, your box will get cracked, passwords will be
sniffed, SSH is free and secure, yada yada yada...
