[ale] Telnet on 7.1

[Thompson Freeman]

I'm sure somebody will chime in about the security aspects of
telenet. 'Nuff said on that subject.

Subject to correction by the list, the telnet daemon is started by xinetd,
the super daemon. However, since I've never fooled with that level, I'm
not sure whether the configuration is within the /etc/inetd.conf (?) or
the /etc/services files. 

(FWIW - I chimed in here in hopes of encouraging a more detailed response,
which hopefully will improve my own education. Thanks. )
