Eureka, I have logged in via ssh.  Not sure what is different although
the last few things I did where:

rechecked /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/rc.conf, /etc/services

service sshd enable
service sshd reload

And plugged in the client computer after the RPi had been connected to
the ethernet, worked using IP.

telnet was still not functioning.

Thank You,
