    Description.
    
-
    
-mbtelind is a small proxy that handles incoming telnet/sio
-sessions and calls mbcico via the network on the standard fido port (60179).
-This small proxy was original written by Vadim Zaliva, lord@crocodile.kiev.ua, Serge
-Terekhov, 2:5000/13@fidonet and Vadim Kurland, vadim@gu.kiev.ua for the ifmail
-package as iftelnetd. This program should be installed to listen to port 60177
-and if you do not allow telnet users login also on port 23.

    Installation
    
-
    
-To accept incoming telnet sessions to allow the ITN nodelist flag you must
-install mbtelind in your system. You need to do this as root. The
-example shown is for most GNU/Linux distributions.
-Add the following line to /etc/services:
-
    -tfido           60177/tcp
-
    
-Add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
-
    -tfido   stream  tcp     nowait  mbse    /opt/mbse/bin/mbtelind mbtelind
-
    
-Or add the following lines to /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs if your system
-uses xinetd instead of inetd:
-
    -service tfido
-{
-	socket_type     = stream
-	protocol        = tcp
-	wait            = no
-	user            = mbse
-	instances       = 10
-	server          = /opt/mbse/bin/mbtelind
