Well I did figure out tcpsever to get it working.
Ill try the inetd way you suggest.
Concerning me not being able to send mail to freebsd.org.  I found a PR
discussning it earlier, and yes reverse lookup doesn't match forward
lookups, and unfortunately the only cable provider here (comcast) wont
cooperate, so Im probably stuck.
Such is life.

Thanks
