[Coco] Tutorial on Telnet/inetd on Coco3 DW4 (is there one?)

[Gene Heskett]

On Thursday 11 October 2012 17:47:46 Bob Devries did opine:

> Hi Gene,
> 
> I'm using the exact inetd.conf as was supplied:
> 
> 6806 telnet protect banner,login,
> 
and mine is:
6809 telnet protect banner,login,
6810 proc,

So other than the port#, the first line is identical.  Me goes off in 
search of dinner, scratching thinning hair.

And I just tried it again, and it worked!:

15+ times before it didn't.  And I did not pluck any magic twanger!  I 
don't own one that I know of...

Its got to be more dependable than that though before I can tear down the 
serial cable & remove that system ram eating stuff for /t2 support from the 
boot file.

After dinner I may go see how it goes if I reboot everything.

Bad habits. Contagious I hear. :)
