	I don't remember whether Netsync uses the ports in /etc/services
just to initiate the sync, or for the data transfer as well. If it's the
latter, then obviously you can't have multiple simultaneous netsyncs,
because, well, the line is busy.
	OTOH, most such services just use the well known port to get the
server's attention, then switch to a different port for the actual
session. If this is the case, then you can trivially support multiple
connections.
	Try using "nowait" instead of "wait" in your /etc/inetd.conf. If
it works, that's a dancer.
