              on Fedora 24, I've installed the "telnet-server" with

              
              # dnf install telnet-server

              
              But, still, I cannot login. I'm getting "Connection
              refused". Seems that it is not enabled.

            
            I would ask why you would choose a telnet server over
              ssh but assuming you had a good reason...
          
        
    Yes, I have a good reason :-)

    It's on a local network and I want to test a telnet client running
    on an 8-bit machine. ssh would be a bit

    too heavy for a 6502....

    
            What
              else do I need to do?
            

            Have you changed the firewall setting to allow incoming
              connections?
          
        
    No. I think I had the firewall disabled on this machine (long
    before)...

    
            Assuming you have a full desktop (not a CLI only
              install) you want firewall-config if you don't have it
              already installed.
            

    ... firewall-config loops endlessly with "Trying to connect to
    firewalld, waiting..."

    
    Also, "netstat -tuna | grep :23" doesn't show an open port at 23. So
    I think no one is listening on the telnet (23) port.

    chris
