Telnet makes TCP connections, and dhcpd is a UDP-based protocol. The
server listens on 67/udp; you can verify that this is true by doing
this:

    % netstat -naf inet | grep -F '*.67'

The output should look like this:

    udp4       0      0  *.67                   *.*

You should run tcpdump on the interface on which you expect to see
requests to verify that they are making it to the server.
