For telnet on aix 5.1-ml7, this works for me:

/etc/security/login.cfg
default:
herald = "\n\rline1\n\r\tline2\n\r\t\tlogin:"

Note the use of \n \r and \t (tab).


For ftp the thread in this newsgroup from
14 September 2004 with the Subject: AIX FTP Banner Problem
is as close an answer as I can give you (i.e. no for 5.1).
