        is there a listening telnet socket at port 25? i think this is used 
by smtp and you can not telnet to it ( or can you?  ). telnet uses port 
23.

        i think an nfs client can not run w/o:
        1) portmapper 
        and for nfs locking
        2) rpc.statd and 
        3) rpc.lockd
        i think they are the sunrpc's nfs is looking for. in that case, you 
have to start them or worst case, install them.
