Re: Change telnet to another port?

Ahh, yes, I forgot about the DSL routers that are actually proxy
servers.  Well, in that case, I think "they" (the providers yet again)
need to get off port 23 and set it to something else.

Using port 23 for your whole LAN just to configure your router is
a tremendous waste of a standard port, IMO.
