How many interfaces are configured for your network card?

I have this problem if I have more than one interface IP address on my
network card. The telnet server binds to only one of the interfaces and I
cannot access the system through the normal interface.

Starting and stopping interfaces and/or the telnet server server corrects
the problem.

It would be nice to know how to tell telnet which interface to automaticaly
bind to.
