You didn't mention if the UML guest had the ipv6 module loaded.  Also, you 
need to telnet to the *host's* port 9001, since the exterior of UML is 
offering the connections, not the interior.

To test ipv6 on the guest, you could configure inetd or xinetd on the guest 
to serve telnet.  Or assuming that off-site networking is configured, you 
can try to actually telnet from the guest to the host, or to another 
machine on your net that will accept your telnet connection.

Remember that telnet is not encrypted, so plain text passwords are exposed 
and stealable if you connect across the network.  I always use ssh or 
slogin.  It's a good way to get a session on another machine, such as the 
UML guest, but you need to have networking functional on the guest first.
