Then, UML receives characters directly from telnetd without port_helper having to relay them. Otherwise, this is pretty good. > d. hasn't anyone heard of apt-get install termnetd? :-) I never heard of termnetd. I think it's less likely to be installed on a given system than telnetd though :-) If UML were to use it, it would have to write out a config file and tell termnetd to use it. That's not horrible, but it is less convenient than being able to put everything on the command line.
