It depends.

The most efficient way is via a telnet card in a dtc - or stand-alone
telnet box - both which require HP's  OpenView DTC Manager for Windows
software to configure and manage. The Telnet server is started via this
Windows software.

Otherwise, if you have MPE/iX 5.5 with powerpatch 1, you can telnet into
the HP3000 via software.

To start the telnet server via software, you need to:

1. log-on as MANAGER.SYS and copy incnfsmp.net.sys to inetdcnf.net.sys
2. modify inetdcnf.net.sys to remove the #'s, which serve to comment out
the lines, from the lines containing telnet, bootp, and tftp (the last 3
lines in the file).
3. chdir /bin
4. ./ln "-s /SYS/NET/INETDCNF /etc/inetd.conf
5. ./ln -s /SYS/NET/BOOTPTAB /etc/bootptab

These above 5 items are performed once.

Then, to start the telnet server, stream JINETD.NET.SYS. This will launch a
job will runs at all times.  You can simply abort the job to bring down the
telnet server.
