That's to be expected.  When doing a telnet test like this, you can get one
of three things:
* connection refused (nothing listening on that port)
* time-out (firewall dropping packets)
* connected (works)

You got the last one, so all good.

If you have netcat, try doing this:

$ echo xymondboard | netcat 193.61.54.144 1984

This should get you a list of hosts and their status.  The command might be
"nc" rather than "netcat".

Perhaps you have xymond running twice?  Stop xymond, and kill all remaining
xymond  processes before attempting to start it again.  Before starting,
you should see no output from this:

$ netstat -na|grep 1984.*LISTEN
