   Both of them like telnet from my linux and from fido2.kofobbs.dk.   
   By my own network there is a WAN network should it works to telnet   
   binkp.kofobbs.dk and when my back fido3.kofobbs.net or fido3.kofobbs.dk work   
   too when this third system is running.   
   mbsebbs on my binkp.kofobbs.dk have lot of users there have been in from   
   outside.

   started up.   
   It should have been up running automatic by boot up but was got down of some   
   reason, I have now started it up so it is running.   
      
     Take care,
