How right you are.  Actually, I thought it was commented out of
inetd.conf...  but it wasn't.  But it is now and it's not installed
(according to rpm) and I don't see any executable with *mapi* on my system.

But as a final check I telnet'd to port 148 and the connection was refused.
 That's proof, isn't it?
