make sure you do *not* have any of these anywhere in your config:

TCPServerPort
TCPClientPort
TermPort

make sure UIPort is *not* set to 6809 or 6811.  Nothing in your
config.xml should ever use the same ports you specify in inetd.conf.
you cannot use the same port for two different things.  the same port
numbers must never appear in both files, ever.  no joy will be had if
ever the two should align.  the universe and all that is in it may be
lost.

"telnet localhost:6809" is invalid syntax in every telnet client I've
used. use "telnet localhost 6809". space, not colon.

FWIW, I just downloaded a virgin copy of
nos96809l2v030209coco3_becker.dsk from
http://nitros9.sourceforge.net/latest/ and a virgin copy of DW4 from
the DW4 site and a virgin copy of VCC from the VCC beta site.

1. Start DriveWire 4, select emulator setup in wizard
2: insert nos96809l2v030209coco3_becker.dsk in drive 0
3: Start VCC
4: type DOS
5: type inetd once OS9 boots

at this point I can telnet to localhost 6809 and am greeted by an OS9
login prompt.  No configuration needed outside of the wizard in DW4,
no configuration needed at all in NitrOS9.
