Telnet is way obscure to use anyway
? Telnet is almost as basic as it gets.

You should disable telnet on your router, regardless. Why anyone would that accessible from the outside world (apart from your ISP, which probably wants to be able to change things) is beyond me.
As suggested, use a different port. You could be cheeky and use 31337, retro and use 43164, or whatever you want. Just pick something higher than 1023 and avoid fixed ports used by well-known file sharing protocols as you're less likely to experience blocking or filtering by your ISP.
Then, run 'telnet
' or configure your telnet client accordingly to connect.
