How to enable standard internet services on Mac OS X 10.5?

How to enable standard internet services on Mac OS X 10.5? I'd like to access standard internet services as echo (port 7), discard (9), daytime (13), chargen (19) and others on my Mac OS X machine (running Mac OS X Leopard). If possible, how to enable them?

"The services you mentioned were part of xinetd, which is not used in Leopard. It was replaced with launchd, and I'm afraid there is no easy way to run those services out of the box.

Getting started with launchd (Apple.com)

Technical Note TN2083
Daemons and Agents (Apple.com)"
