[vox-tech] telnet daemon doesn't work

[Brian Lavender]

I am testing NTOP!!! ;-)

This host is a Xen VM called xen6. It's hypervisor's hostname is
"small". The default rules for xen6 are accept.  But the wierd thing is
that netstat -an seems to report tcp6. Could telnetd just be listening
to ipv6?

I can ssh to xen6, just not telnet to it. I can telnet from xen6 to
localhost.

make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
