Hello All.

I found in some old documentation I had laying around in my filebase that I
can get VMODEM's telnet engine to answer on a different port.  VMODEM's telnet
engine's IANA "well-known port name" is "vmotelnet".

Go into C:\MPTN\ETC\SERVICES and remove the "telnet" lines.  Add "vmotelnet
/tcp" and "vmotelnet /udp" (with  being the port number you
want), save the file, reboot, and et voila! you can now run your BBS on a
different telnet port.  I'm using port 2304 and no script kiddies.

Later,
Sean
