I did find out what part of the problem was.
Part of the problem was that in /etc/services it referred to pop3
In inetd.conf, it referred to pop-3.
Once I changed inetd.conf to pop3, Qpopper then came up.
But then it would not let me log in.
If you are interested, here is the problem that I ran into after Qpopper came
up.

Yes Mark, do have DSL through fastq (Actually, the DSL is supplied by USWest and
the ISP is Fastq).
I love my service and would recommend it to anyone.
I pay $19.95/month + $9.95/month for 8 static IP addresses.
I can run whatever server I want on my machines, and they even helped me get my
domain (pamarq.com) registered with the DNS services.
Everyone I've talked to there is very knowledgable there (try to get that from
Tier 1 at USWest) and very kind.
I am glad I switched.
I switched from Cox@Home to DSL, and have never regretted it.
I even got rid of Cox cable and now have the Dish Network (satallite) and could
not be happier.
