Yes.  Right after you clued me in to the changes in RedHat 7.0, I dove
into the xinetd configuration problem.  I have _not_ upgraded mcinet7.7.sh
to handle RH 7.0, but I did put together a short blurb on how to setup
this OS to run the remote ADDE server.  My write-up on this is in the
Notes and Warnings section on Linux:

Could I login and take a look?  My tests on our RH 7.0 machine were successful
using the xinetd.d/ files that I list in the above web document.

>Just wondering...

I am glad to know that you finally got my 7.70 update information note.
It looked like your mail system was misconfigured for awhile as we were
getting bounce indications.

Tom:

I am away from the office but will let you take a look when I return.
maybe I should just try installing the new version of 7.7 first.

I'm not sure why there was a problem with e-mail. Nobody else has
indicated a problem. Curious...
