The last time I had a similar problem - something would not start when
invoked by a startup script, but worked fine manually, it was because the
environment is not fully set up during the initialisation. You cannot rely
on PATH for example, but must give all paths explicitly.

I recently tried to upgrade my kernel to 2.2.11 from 2.2.5 (Redhat 6.0). On
boot up, the computer no longer can detect the DHCP from my cablemodem, it
justs hangs when initializing eth0 (a 3c509 NIC). Everything worked fine
before I upgraded to 2.2.11. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.

I currently use a Linksys Ethernet package that came with a 5 port hub and
two ethernet cards. It works great. In my linux box I use a 3c509 card for
my ISP connection and then one of the Linksys cards for the local network
connection to the hub. There are 4 Win98 machines connected to the hub, and
have never run into a problem with the Linksys cards. I actually have more
problems with my 3c509 card.

I have found that simply
hp:pr=lp:
works (hp is the name of my printer).

For those of you that have fetchmail working for several users, do you
get messages in the syslog indicating that identd is being accessed by
127.0.0.1?
I'm getting quite a few of these. How do I get rid of them?

Concerning passwords, you should be aware of two things:
1) Depending upon permissions on whatever script or data file stores
those passwords, others might have access to them. 0700 permissions
for a script of this nature is a good idea.
2) If security on the system that does the fetching is ever compromised
from the outside, so might be those passwords. I therefore STRONGLY
recommend that you use passwords for that purpose which aren't used for
any other accounts or systems. If possible, the mail passwords from
the ISP should be different from passwords used to connect to the ISP
(if those accounts are even set up to allow dialup connections).

why not have a look at /etc/services ?
You will find the following line :
telnet 23/tcp
I bet you can modify the port number 23 to another one and restart
intetd (/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart).
Maybe it will work if telnetd is nice.
But be carefull changing the port number, find one that is not assigned.
