Hello!

(running NetBSD/i386 1.5.1)

The examples section of the ttys(5) man page gives example
entries for network pseudo ttys...

  > # Network pseudo ttys -- don't enable getty
  > ttyp0   none    network
  > ttyp1   none    network off

...when I try the former in my /etc/ttys file, I get the
recurring error...

"init: can't exec getty 'none' for port /dev/ttyp0: No such
file or directory"

There is a ttyp0 file in /dev

How can I configure this box to accept telnet logins from
the LAN it's connected to?

Eventually I should probably replace telnet with ssh, but
that's a project for another day.  I'm trying to get the
basics working first.
