Hi Jose.

I'm sure there is a better way, but here is what I use. In
/etc/inetd.conf I added this line:

# Services local to linux.n0nb.ampr.org
#
node stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/node node

Then in /etc/services I added this:

# Ports assigned local to linux.n0nb.ampr.org
#
node 4000/tcp # OH2BNS's node software

Then setup /etc/node.perms and all the rest.

Since my hostname is linux, I just use this command:

telnet linux 4000

This tells telnet to connect the port 4000 which is the node switch.
Works rather well.

Good luck,
