SCO telnet issues

Hi Guys and Girls and compliments of the season to all - have a great New year.

My problem: telnet seems to have stopped accepting connections to one of my boxes. When I try to connect, all I get is:

"telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused"

This box has worked perfectly for three years and it is still pingable, and my own thoughts are that there have been changes to the routing, but the network admin denies this. Are there any things I can check out to confirm or refute this (a ping from the box just hangs saying that the host is down). I'll be back in next Monday, so any responses by then would be much appreciated. Again, all the best.
 
This could happen when inetd can't run telnetd on answer to a telnet connection.
Check /etc/services.
Sometimes it happens when / filesystem is 100% full, so every new shell fails
