I was a bit in a hurry when I replied. The inetutils "should" work on 9X as well with the exception of ftpd which I have patched so that it can't run on 9X at the moment. Unfortunately telnetd seems to have a problem which has to be tracked down. It doesn't fork and exec /usr/bin/login and I don't know why yet. So the correct answer to your original question is: It doesn't work on 9X yet but it will (hopefully) work in a few days.
