Sven,
I'm not 100% sure I understand your question.

Are you asking: "Do I have to run ax25d/axspawn to accept incoming
IP/AX25
telnet connections?". If it is then no. All you need to do is follow the
AX25-HOWTO to the point of configuring an AX25 interface for IP and then
ignore the rest.

I'm a bit confused as to how you can tell a caller than you are tcp/ip
only and then try and do telnet without tcp/ip.
