+telnetd for GNO
+===============
+
+This is a port of the telnet server (telnetd) for GNO, based on FreeBSD 
+sources.  It allows you to log in to a GNO system remotely using telnet.
+To use it, you need GNO 2.0.6 and MariGNOtti 0.4 or later.  It may also
+work with other TCP/IP stacks for GNO, but that is untested.  Note that
+it will not work with Sweet16, because Sweet16's TCP/IP configuration 
+does not support servers running on the emulated IIgs.
+
+The binary download also includes inetd (compiled from GNO 2.0.6 
+sources), since telnetd is designed to be run from inetd.
+
+The source repository also includes code for the telnet client,
+but it does not currently work and is not included in the download.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+1. Copy the `telnetd` and `inetd` binaries to your `/usr/local/bin` 
+   directory.  (If you use a different location, you will have to 
+   adjust the configuration files appropriately.)
+
+2. Copy the `etc/inetd.conf` file to your `/etc` directory.  (If you
+   have an existing `/etc/inetd.conf` file, you should add the new
+   entry to the end of it instead.)
+
+Running telnetd
+---------------
+
+Once you have completed the above steps, you can enable the telnet
+server (in addition to any other servers managed by inetd) by starting 
+MariGNOtti and then simply running `inetd` as root.  It will accept any 
+number of telnet connections (up to the limit of system resources) and 
+continue running until you stop inetd or shut down GNO.
+
+It is also possible to run `telnetd -debug` (as root) to accept a telnet 
+connection without using inetd.  In this mode, telnetd will accept a 
+single telnet connection and quit once that connection finishes.
+For more information on running telnetd, see the included `telnetd.8` 
+man page (which does not currently display correctly on GNO).
+Be aware that some features, including authentication, encryption,
+line mode, and IPv6 support, are not available on GNO.
+
+Starting the server automatically
+---------------------------------
+
+If you want your GNO system to accept telnet connections as soon as it
+starts up (without logging in on the local console and running `inetd`), 
+you can make MariGNOtti and inetd start up automatically.  To do this, 
+you can add lines like the following to the `/etc/inittab` file
+(these are similar to commented-out lines for GS/TSP in the stock 
+GNO 2.0.6 version of the file, which you can modify):
+
+    ip:2348:once::/usr/local/bin/marignotti
+    id:234:once::/usr/local/bin/inetd
+
+If you add these lines, you will also need to set the default run level 
+to one that will start up inetd, e.g. run level 3.  If you are using the 
+stock GNO 2.0.6 configuration, you can just change the `8` to a `3` in 
+the following line :
+
+    db:b:runl::8
+
+Note the the meaning of the run levels is just a convention and you can
+use different ones if you want; see the `init(8)` man page for details.
+
+Connecting to GNO over telnet
+-----------------------------
+
+Once you have your system set up as described above, you should be able
+to telnet to its IP address and connect to it.  In some cases, I have
+seen the first attempted connection be quite slow and occasionally fail;
+if that happens, try again.
+
+If you are connecting to GNO from a modern terminal emulator, you will
+also want to set it up appropriately to use that terminal type.
+The telnet client will normally indicate the terminal type when 
+connecting, and telnetd will set the `TERM` environment variable 
+accordingly.  Make sure your shell login/startup scripts are not 
+resetting it to something inappropriate. (In particular, the default
+`gshrc` script sets `TERM` to `gnocon`; you should remove that line.)
+
+You will also want to add a termcap entry for your terminal in
+`/etc/termcap`.  The included `etc/xterm.termcap` file provides an 
+entry that should be suitable for several modern terminal emulators,
+including xterm and OS X's Terminal.app.  On many modern *nix systems,
+you can run `infocmp -C` to get an entry for your terminal.  Note that
+termcap entries on GNO are strictly limited to 1023 characters.
