While I think your suggestion of changing the TCP message description will
probably work, I would be very surprised if the above suggestion works.
The QIBM_QTG_DEVINIT exit point is a Telnet SERVER exit point invoked when
a client connects to the Telnet server.  It has no effect on telnet
sessions to non-Telnet servers (e.g., SMPT, HTTP, etc.) because:

        a) The Telnet server is not involved even though a Telnet client is
used.
        b) No AS/400 device is involved when connecting to a non-Telnet
server (unless that server itself opens a virtual terminal)

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
