This is not true.  Why enable callers on a PX node with NetSerial when
port 23 is open for human callers all day long?  It is a good idea to
leave PX running on another port and let that be for FTN calls only and
leave port 23 or a port other than what PX/NetSerial is listening on and
leave NetSerial connections open for FTN calls only.  This is common
practice these days.
