Hi there,
 
The problem i am facing is as follows:
 
I have successfully setup my FreeBSD operating system, and have also manage to setup my internet connection through the PPP. However, now i would like to enable other computer users to telnet into my computer. But when i try to allow my friend to telnet into my IP address, they can't seem to make a connection with my computer (when its online the internet).
 
So is it just sufficient to just type "telnet <my ip address>" to enter my computer, or are there other necessarry parameters i would need or configurations i need to make.
 
Thank in advance for your help, and its much appreciated for any suggestions offered.
