henry - you seem to have misread his question. he is trying to telnet into
port _110_ (which is supposed to be the pop3 daemon's default port). not
into port 25 (which is the telnet server's default port).
he needs to check if he has a pop3 server installed or not. not a telnet
server. its either not installed, or its entry is not marked properly in
'/etc/inetd.conf'.
