   That's actually a dumb script, but it does some important things like adding   
   example telnet lines to your inetd.conf and adding FTN mailer support to your   
   /etc/services file.   
      
   It sounds like that script needs updating for newer versions of Ubuntu.   
      
   MBSE is definately worth a look though, a very tough FTN mailer and tosser for   
   mail and files..  and a nice BBS too.. :)
