Telnet's one of the inetd.conf things, so changing the /etc/services entry
will work (although is incredibly not recommended).

Better thing is to add an entry, such as

mytelnet	6012/tcp
mytelnet	6012/udp

And then modify /etc/inetd.conf to change the line that has the telnet
service (telnet at the beginning of the line) to have 'mytelnet' at the
beginning of the line.

Very simple.  HTH.
