Can it be said that tcpserver can run concurrently with inetd?  I would
think so.  But maybe because it is said to be better than inetd, people
see it as a replacement for inetd (why not, right?), and then they
hesitate to make the move because they haven't blocked enough time to
be sure there is no impact on all the other inetd stuff (ya never know
when dealing with new stuff).  The simple scenario should be to just
put tcpserver on and fire it up configured to do qmail and nothing else
for now (to get going) and migrate things from inetd to tcpserver later
on.

I take it if you have any UDP stuff on inetd you have to leave it on there?
OTOH, some of my servers are so tight there's not even inetd running (ssh
runs standalone).  So my first though is most of the UDP isn't needed.
