Hi.

I'm glad the problem was solved but just for reference, if you are using a linux machine ( w/ 2.2 kernel ), you can enable or disable the telnet daemon by editing your inetd.conf file. Just remove the '#' sign that appears in front of the name of the service ( telnet ). Then restart the service and you should be able to telnet to your local machine. If you are using a 2.4 kernel, the file is called xinetd. It's more secure than the 2.2 implementation but serves the same purpose essentially.

Thanks,
