The problem was had nothing to do with Digital Unix, C2 or inetd.
The problem was with the client program that connects to inetd. It
requires that it can reverse IP-number to address (even if we specify the
server IP-number). This server was not in any DNS so the client failed to
connect.
Sorry for wasting your time.
