   I believe at least once I had a telnet server on a different port,   
   and that it worked fine.   
      
   Or maybe with NAT port translation, so I could reach different hosts   
   with only one external address.   
      
   But reasonably likely it tried, still worked fine, and I didn't notice   
   strange characters on the screen.
