Hi Alan!

 AI> It looks like you are not getting any answer on the telnet port?

That is not true.
You get this answer:
"Telnet service is disabled or Your telnet session has expired due to inactivity..."

That string is transmitted when somebody connects to that address on telnet.

That is because the telnet port IS open, and you get the string quoted above.

ricsi@menedetter:~$ nmap trmb.ca -p telnet 
Starting Nmap 7.70 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-12-04 16:22 CET

Nmap scan report for trmb.ca (104.246.155.40)

Host is up (0.17s latency).
rDNS record for 104.246.155.40: 104-246-155-40.cpe.teksavvy.com

PORT   STATE SERVICE
23/tcp open  telnet

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.60 seconds

BTW you should really reconsider .... having telnet enabled in 2020 is a very bad idea!

CU, Ricsi

.... When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut!
