### Automatically Starting TELNETD

To start TELNETD automatically when TCP/IP is started, select the Autostart tab, select TELNETD in the Autostarted Services list box, and check the Autostart Service box under Autostart Options.

If you select the INETD Super Server Daemon as an alternative way to start Telnet automatically, any TELNETD parameters specified on this page will be ignored.

If you choose to start TELNETD in a foreground session, you can check the Minimized box to minimize the OS/2 window.

When TELNETD is started, other users can log into your host. First, they must have a valid user ID authorized for Telnet access to your host and be able to supply the correct password for that user ID.

If you choose to automatically start TELNETD, you can also specify TELNETD parameters in the Parameters field.

Uncheck the Autostart Service box to disable automatic starting of TELNETD when TCP/IP is started. This is the default.

#### TELNETD Parameters

If you choose to automatically start TELNETD without using INETD, TCP/IP can also process the following command parameters when specified from the Autostart tab;

-cp codepage
  Specifies the ASCII code page used by the remote host. The default is to send the data untranslated.

-p port
  Specifies the port that TELNETD is to use. If no port is specified, TELNETD uses the well-known Telnet port.

-b
  Specifies that the copyright information is to be printed.

-d
  Specifies that debugging is to take place.

-l
  Specifies that client connections are to be logged on the server console.

-e escape delay
  Specifies the time delay for an escape from a Telnet session. The default is 50 ms.
