Echo server for Linux

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Any suggestions for launching an echo server on a box running Slackware Linux?
This is version 9.1 of the product. (For those who care.) I plan on having the box
generate these echo packets, and have them picked up on a remote box, running
something else. Please provide pointers, even code samples.

Inetd provides this services. In case you use xinetd, consult man
xinetd.conf to see how to enable echo.
Either xinetd or inetd should be in Slackware distribution

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Okay thanks! I had an inspired guess after I sent off the message, but that's it.
Thank you again.
