My experiences with tnserv have been pretty bad also.  I'm running it on a
similar setup (amitcp etc.), but the thing pretty much crashes (on the
tnserv amiga) every other command issued.  It then doesn't clean up what its
crashed.  If telnet in enough times and try things out, the tnserv machine
will just crash.  It doesn't seem to matter from what machine I initiate the
telnet connection from (I just tried from my Linux box, and the same thing
just happened).  Its pretty darn unstable if you ask me.

I really don't see why serving a telnet connection from an Amiga could crash
a NetBSD setup.  You'd think it would be the other way around!
