You need, try it.
Seeing I'm not the only one, I did lab it (7.2).
And the answer is ... security_level <> 100.

I made an interface "outside" and could login w/o trouble.
But as soon as I changed the sec level to 90, the telnet connects
but you get no service (i.e. no password or login prompt)

So telnet only works on sec level 100 interfaces (wich is an ok
policy for me!, just wanted to know it :)

P.S.
no takers on why transparent pix does PING destination to learn its mac?
