Hello managers,
My question was :

There were 3 kinds of answers
1) Change the following line in the /etc/inetd.conf file
> telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.telnetd in.telnetd
into
> telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/banner in.telnetd
And create the file "/usr/local/banner"
---------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
cat << EOF
Hello, you are connected to ...
EOF
exec /usr/etc/in.telnetd
---------------------------------------------
I tried this and it works fine.
2) Edit the /etc/gettytab file
default:\
:ap:im=\n\nOur Company Name Here\n\n:lm=\r\n%h login\72 :sp#9600:
This didn't work when I tried it.
3) To do this you need to replace the in.telnetd on your system. You can get
the BSD telnetd source from ftp.uu.net.
I didn't test this possibility. The first solution is much easier.
