  Description     : A small and efficient stand alone telnet server daemon

The utelnetd package provides a small and efficient stand alone telnet 
server daemon. The utelnetd  package is small and compact, and uses less 
resources than a traditional telnet server daemon, making it ideal for 
use on embedded systems, or systems where memory is limited. The 
utelnetd server daemon also offers the following additional benefits:

The daemon runs independently of the internet superserver daemon and the 
inetd package is not required to use this daemon, making it useful on 
systems where no inetd is installed.

The daemon runs as a single process, so only one instance is 
required, saving memory and system resources. This is unlike a 
traditional telnet server daemon, a telnetd process is 
spawned by the internet superserver daemon for each client connection
