Hello Bjsenn,

Re: FTP/iX and INETD... This does not work yet on any "supported" MPE/iX
release 5.0 or 5.5.   The most obvious reasion I can think that this is
not possible now is that FTP/iX makes calls to NETIPC instead of BSD,
and the reason NETIPC can not pull off talking to INETD is that NETIPC
does not handle a "fork" well... Maybe we will see this functionality in
the future?
