Something I forgot to mention. I can ping the host, and /var/adm/messages
reports that the telnet and FTP connections have been made. But inetd
doesn't seem to fire off in.telnetd as it should. I haven't modified
inetd.conf.
Thanks again

don't have a man page. However, the download included some kernel patches,
and I applied these. Then I had second thoughts (a bit late!) and
unpatched, by finding the modified source and renaming .orig files back,
and recompiling the kernel. Confused?
