Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions. The problem has been
resolved.

There was a telnet connection on vty 2 that I was unable to clear.
Thanks to Laris Benkis <laris at tpn.cc> who reminded me of the sho tcp
brief command, I was able to locate the tcb number of the established
session (which was really no longer connected) and nuke it with a clear
tcp tcb # command.

As soon as I did that, telnet was immediately restored to the router.

Thanks again for everyone's suggestions and help.
