I have tried the following :

Set in router port forwarding to the internal system at (192.168.1.75) inbound
port 24555 to 24554  with the Pi set in /etc/service to have BINKP as 24554.
Does not work.

Change xinetd BINKP to 24555 and the router port forwarding to from 24555 to
24555.

This does NOT work as well so I am now stuck.

Note in /etc/service I have two entries for binkp i.e., both udp and tcp set
as the same as well as :

ftidp 60177/tcp   # FIDONET EMSI over telnet
fido  60179/tcp   # FIDONET EMSI over TCP
fido  60179/udp   # chat server

There is NO inedt.conf or xinedt.conf file/s in /etc.


In both cases I can poll out from 2:25/21 to 2:250/1 so outbound works but

There is NO xinetd or inetd installed but I have just installed xinetd and
created /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs from the content of SETUP.sh

Waiting for reboot to see if that works....

That fixes it - it now accepts a poll from 2:250/1

Thanks for your help just needed that extra package that Debian does not
install by default.
