My guess is that Encore has not gotten around to installing inetd yet
or decided against it.  Umax is based on 4.2BSD which did not have
inetd.  At some point between 4.2 and 4.3BSD, inetd reached both Berkeley
and SUN who decided to add it to their systems.

For the people at Encore listening, I think it would be a good idea to
install inetd.  Several new services contained in inetd get added to the
system.
