I was wondering if any gurus out there could walk me through the
installation of a telnet port on my system.

It is a personal system and I don't have any local gurus around to ask.
The system is a BSD and the object is to be able to telnet from my machine
to my machine.

I can do this by telnet 0.0 and it connects to my system.
I have a network game that I have to install on a specific port.
I conpile the game with the telnet number specified so it can be any number.
I just need to figure out how to set up the system so that when someone
telnet's to that port it hooks them up to the game.

I need to telnet to it to debug the game and that is the first step.

If anyone can help me just send email to

goellner@cis.usouthal.edu

thanks
