That was my simple, first attempt before posting my message.
I changed the port to 33 in cygwin's /etc/services.
Stopped inetd.
Exited all cygwin shells.
Restarted a shell.
Restarted inetd.
No go. The connection seems to be made (remote end does not see connection
refused), but it hangs and never gives a login prompt. Reseting the port
to 23 restores the service.
Also, the windows telnet service will not start. That may be unrelated.
