Telnet is way obscure to use anyway - why not use an alternative port if everything else fails?

? Telnet is almost as basic as it gets.

Sure is (probably the oldest 'high-level' protocol still in use - somewhat that is) - it's so basic, most people won't be able to use it nowadays. Most probably panick if they click on a link and a black box appears with text in it...

If your Mac's got a telnet daemon running on port 23 that port is busy anyway. Configure your BBS to use e.g. port 8023 and set your router to forward TCP port 23 to port 8023 on the Mac's IP. Take care you open port 8023 on your local firewall (if present) as well.
