binaries natively and intercepts traps for things like system calls. I

I can archive your disk content if you end up needing some assistance.
I have a few Vector Graphic machines with 100tpi Micropolis and Tandon 100-4M

On my Debian system I can install ftpd and telnetd (they are still in
the Debian package list)
The old-school way to do this is to install inetd, ensure it gets started up,
and uncomment the line in its config-file (/etc/inetd.conf ?) for telnet.
