Re: inetd on win95

[Peter Buckley <peter dot buckley at cportcorp dot com>]

This should NOT work, by design. You need to run inetd,
and it will by default startup the telnet daemon. You
can edit your inetd.conf file to pick and choose whether
you run telnet, ftp, rsh, rlogin. By default, inetd
starts all of these.

HTH,
