Thanks all, yes, the telnet is working :)
Just a few minutes ago it wasn't, but I played around with the hosts
file. I don't understand why it's working now and not before because
I'm still using a FQDN which I was using from the beginning. However,
I changed the arrangement of a few things:
localhost ~ #
localhost ~ # telnet localhost 119
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 Leafnode NNTP Daemon, version 1.11.3.rel running at localhost (my
fqdn: hawat.thufir.gmail.com)
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
localhost ~ # cat -n /etc/hosts
1 # /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
2 # mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
3 # used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
4 # On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
5 # "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses
6 # and any aliases to this file...

Thanks so much all. Pardon if I'm a bit dense with this stuff, I do
my best to read the manual.
