You are using a tool (telnet) that doesn't know a thing about the SSH 
protocol, so the server answers correctly stating that there is a 
"Protocol mismatch". The only thing you can say with your test is that 
the SSH server is alive.

To troubleshoot your problem, try connecting first from localhost using 
"-vv" with the OpenSSH client. then try from a remote machine. Watch for 
error messages in your system logs.
