Both of them like telnet from my linux and from fido2.kofobbs.dk.
By my own network there is a WAN network should it works to telnet 
binkp.kofobbs.dk and when my back fido3.kofobbs.net or fido3.kofobbs.dk work 
too when this third system is running.
mbsebbs on my binkp.kofobbs.dk have lot of users there have been in from 
outside.

The was a little miss by my xinetd here has stopping running and not was 
started up.
It should have been up running automatic by boot up but was got down of some 
reason, I have now started it up so it is running.

  Take care,
