You want to telnet to remote port 110 from your local machine?

If so try;

$ telnet host.example.com 110

Hope this helps.
01101000011000010110010001110011

Or do you want to change the port telnetd is listening on to 110?
If so, change your /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file and change the port = 23 line to port = 110. //Daniel

I would not do that 110 is for POP mail unless of course you want to telnet in to your POP3 account to check mail then telnet domain.com 110. I would not allow Telnet at all on the box bad Idea use ssh. telnet will send all your passwords in clear text.
