Make sure you are current on PTFs. We had quite a lot of trouble with telnet 
after installing the PTFs for named devices, but the system has been stable for 
2 or 3 weeks now.

Usually if something dies an unnatural death, there is at least a message in 
the QSYSOPR message queue, and possible a problem entry (WRKPRB).

To restart things, I guess I would:
Run NETSTAT *IFC and make sure your interfaces are active.
If that doesn't fix it, run STRTCP STRSVR(*YES)
and as a last resort, try STRHOSTSVR *ALL

Run these commands interactively and check your joblog for error messages. If 
some of the servers are running, you will see messages about being unable to 
start prestart jobs. This is normal and will hurt nothing.
