Hi Phil:

I may be having a problem of basic understanding - If I 

[whacker at flamen whacker]$ ps -A|grep net
  778 ?        00:00:00 xinetd
15251 ?        00:00:00 in.telnetd
15324 pts/2    00:01:22 netscape-commun
15348 pts/2    00:00:00 netscape-commun
[whacker at flamen whacker]$ 

and

[whacker at caviar whacker]$ ps -A|grep net
  988 ?        00:00:00 vmnet-bridge
19452 ?        00:00:00 xinetd
19894 pts/2    00:00:00 telnet
[whacker at caviar whacker]$ 

I'm not sure whether this answers your question.

The vmnet-bridge is for the vmware workstation, but I don't know how to
tell whether it is an active player in this drama. 

My searching has provided no illumination on the significance of
in.telnetd versus telnet.

Any further thoughts?
