Subject:	Inetd config questions

I recently installed Cygwin 1.1.4 under Win98 and
am just learning how to use it. Now I have set up
inetd and have managed to telnet from another Windows
box (Win95) to the Cygnus/Win98 machine both on the
local ethernet. So I am pleased to have got this far.
Some questions about this probably relating to 
configuration specs:

(1) After inetd is started I can't exit from the shell
(with exit or logout) I have to crash the window.
I tried to use 'net stop inetd' but the service name
is not recognized. How do I exit properly from inetd?

(2) On the telnet client machine (Win95) I run the
Windows telnet client to connect to the Cygwin telnet
server and this works OK. However the telnet client
doesn't read the PS1 environment variable set in
/etc/profile properly, it just echos the text verbatim.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Sorry if these questions are a bit simplistic, I am still
feeling my way. Congratulations to all who built this
Unix/Windows hybrid,

Roger Young.
