Nono, if I start in.tftpd by itself with the -l (standalone) option, it
doesn't open the port.  When I setup inetd to listen on the port the port
opens, but in.tftpd doesn't respond.  inetd is certainly working as it's
supposed to - in.tftpd is what's not working.

I gave up on it.  I found a way to do what I needed to do without using
tftp.
