Haven't thought about make since about 1993 and my exposure then was 
minimal.  Remember "make"; not "install".

Thanks.  Was oblivious to that.  "man make" gives no mention of install but 
TLDP helps.

https://tldp.org/LDP/LG/current/smith.html
etc.

Found it about a week ago.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Utelnetd
https://boxmatrix.info/wiki/Property:utelnetd
https://public.pengutronix.de/software/utelnetd/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/utelnetd/
The boxmatrix and pengutronix pages suggest that it was developed 
primarily to allow a console on an embedded system.

If all else fails, may ask another question.

Used it for years.  When multiple terminals connected to a central 
mainframe it was appropriate.  My application is software (embedded) 
in a Debian system.  Only 2 or 3 telnet consoles needed.

Gruesome details here.

inetd/telnetd is rather overkill and utelned should suffice.
