[Dxspider-support] DxSpider and FC3 Problem

[Jim Snider]

Well, netstat didn't return anything about 27754.

I commented out the line in inittab that restarts the system so I could
control it manually.  I rebooted the machine and went in to start it by
hand.  Here's what I got back

Now, it looks OK to me but I cannot connect to the dxspider via ./client
or telnetting to this box on port 7300.

Any ideas what to look for now?
