No. This "arpa" is the allbase/net listener. Absolutely not needed for
general TCP/IP and telnet connectivity. Probably tried the command anstart
arpa.

Yes, go back to first principles and read the appropriate manuals. Mike does
not say what release of MPE he is running. First place to look is to make
sure services.net.sys exists and has telnet in it. Oh, and do not try to
screw around with security until you get it going.
