telnet can be stealth - no problems with that...on my machine all ports are 
DENY'd (which shieldsup reports as 'stealth') apart from ident, which I 
REJECT (shieldsup == closed).

I used to have telnet open, and I used hosts.allow to control access - but 
since setting up ssh, I'll make use of that rather than telnet/ftp.
