Hello All,

I hope I'm at the right place. I'm pretty new to Cygwin, so sorry in
advance if this is a noob question.

What I'm trying to do is the following:

Connect using telnet to a local installed Cygwin. Then using the
Cygwin to rlogin to a PBX system. The program we are using for the
telnet session is ProComm Plus, which doesn't support rlogin and/or
SSH. It only supports telnet or serial.

So I was thinking to install Cygwin with a telnet daemon/service so I
could connect to it using telnet and "pass-trough" using rlogin to the
PBX system.

The rlogin part is working great from the Cygwin window. The problem
I=92m facing is that I=92m able to connect to Cygwin using telnet, but I=92m
not getting any response. I=92m sure that I=92m connected to Cygwin,
because when I disable the =93cygwin inetd=94 from the windows services
the connection drops.

I also tried this on a clean Windows 2003 server installation with the
same results. Although I also tried it on a Windows 2003 machine, my
machine is Windows Vista. I also tried to connect using putty and
windows telnet. All have the same results. All are able to connect,
but none are getting any response from Cygwin.

I followed the installation/configuration instructions found in the
inetutils-1.5.README document. I installed all the required runtime
and build requirements, although most of them are newer versions. But
that shouldn=92t be I problem I guess. I'm using the latest (released
today) setup/install of cygwin.

But since I=92m pretty new to cygwin it=92s probably a =93you need to enable
this parameter=94 thingy=85

Thanks in advance.
