Telnet connect to Cygwin gives no response


Hello All,

I hope I'm at the right place. I'm pretty new to Cygwin, so sorry in
advance if this is a noob question.

What I'm trying to do is the following:

Connect using telnet to a local installed Cygwin. Then using the
Cygwin to rlogin to a PBX system. The program we are using for the
telnet session is ProComm Plus, which doesn't support rlogin and/or
SSH. It only supports telnet or serial.

So I was thinking to install Cygwin with a telnet daemon/service so I
could connect to it using telnet and "pass-trough" using rlogin to the
PBX system.

The rlogin part is working great from the Cygwin window. The problem
I’m facing is that I’m able to connect to Cygwin using telnet, but I’m
not getting any response. I’m sure that I’m connected to Cygwin,
because when I disable the “cygwin inetd” from the windows services
the connection drops.

I also tried this on a clean Windows 2003 server installation with the
same results. Although I also tried it on a Windows 2003 machine, my
machine is Windows Vista. I also tried to connect using putty and
windows telnet. All have the same results. All are able to connect,
but none are getting any response from Cygwin.

I followed the installation/configuration instructions found in the
inetutils-1.5.README document. I installed all the required runtime
and build requirements, although most of them are newer versions. But
that shouldn’t be I problem I guess. I'm using the latest (released
today) setup/install of cygwin.

But since I’m pretty new to cygwin it’s probably a “you need to enable
this parameter” thingy…

Thanks in advance.
