Jim,
 
 First I have to make the pitch for my colleagues in the Response Center.
 They are a knowledgable bunch and can likely be of great help to you
 if you have to troubleshoot this further. Also, if it's not a simple
 fix, or turns out to be a bug, I'll refer you to the support
 organization.
 
 With that said, and qualifying that I'm taking a lot for granted, I
 think you've got a simple one to fix.
 Assuming a whole lot of stuff here, such as your system is MPE iX 5.0,
 I'm seizing on your choice of words regarding the error. In otherwords
 
 if you're getting a message like can't find service when you run the
 TELNET client, (like telnet/tcp Unkown Service perhaps?), then you
 probably need to look at your Services.Net.Sys file and be sure there's
 a line that reads:
 
 telnet   23/tcp
 
 in the file. (Note: a # in front of the word telnet means it's commented
 out and not available. so delete the #.)
 
 Further note.... the line in SERVICES.NET.SYS is case sensitive for
 TELNET. Be sure it's all lower case.
 
 You might also want to have a look at the file TELNTDOC.ARPA.SYS. It's
 a real quickie readme type file to get you over the typical installation
 hurdles and tells you what limitations we know of. It's not a substitute
 for the manual, but may offer you some additional hints.
 
 Hope this helps.
