So I spoke to soon in my previous email.  xinetd is being run at boot.  I have
that exact same file you have in your reply to me in my /etc/xinetd.d
directory.  When I run the xinetd service manually it shows in the logs that
it
is listening on that port (22).  I have telnetd installed but noticed that I
had to change the -L /opt/mbse/mblogin to a -E in this version of telnetd.

So my machine does answer the telnet connection and let me log in to the bbs
and shows me the first welcome screen.  At the bottom of that welcome screen
it
says "BBS is not allowed on thsi port" and hangs up.  When I connected this
time the sysop shows that I was connect to pts/3.  Is it possible that
ArchLinux has a different naming for telnet sessions?  I do thind this strange
in that I can SSH as right now I'm using the board in a ssh session and it's
on
tty pts/1.
