Hi phigan,

I've been trying to telnet to a modem, ... wifi modem, connected to a freebsd (was openbsd) so it doesn't display the password when typed at the login password prompt.

I wanted to have telnetd answer the incomming "RING" on the serialport. I can't find a way to have telnetd as the program for serial port, instead of getty.
