Your OID server is not running telnet on port 389, that is the port for LDAP. Telnet should normally be running on the normal telnet port.
But you don't need telnet at all to perform an ldap search on another
server. You can use ldapsearch on the second server with the target host
and target port as parameters, like:
ldapsearch -h <targethost> -p <targetport> -D cn=orcladmin -w <password>
-b <basedn> (cn=mytestdb)
