I have tried it. I managed to compile telnetd, but I got a "no tty
free" message, because there is no ptty support. I comment out this
point in sources, and I got a 3.2 BSD (nice isn'it ?) login message,
but nothing else.

I couldn't managed to compile anything else.

(For a console telnet try http://www.chrysalis.org/jbj/ . It is
native, not cycnus port, but it is good)
