No telnet although I think that line is present in my inetd.conf on the 
coco.  But it is not allowed past the router for incoming.

I have ATM 3 paths to the coco, 2 of them on Z screens which display like 
the usual green screen on my linux monitor, and I have an RS232 cart as 
/t2, with a shell running on all 3 in addition to about 4 screens on the 
coco's own monitor.  The /t2 connection is from minicom running against 
/dev/ttyS1.  This is a pure text connection at 9600 baud that I can usually 
use rzsz on to move files back and forth although rzsz on the coco isn't 
capable of functioning at 9600 baud, peaks are at about 6400 effective 
baud.  However that seems to have gotten something stuck crossways and 
hasn't worked in about a month, I suspect because of some library update on 
this linux box.

Telnet, FWIW, is NOT something that we expose to the world as its a huge 
attack target when it is.  There is nothing between you and mayhem except 
the users name and password.

There's no real need to do housework -- after four years it doesn't get
any worse.
A pen in the hand of this president is far more
dangerous than a gun in the hands of 200 million
