You can recycle it but I doubt it'll work.  I would suggest one
thing... open a command prompt and type "telnet localhost" on the system
running the BBS.  See if something answers.  With WinNT OS's, they have a
built in telnet server, and I'll bet its active and owns the telnet port.

You'll need to go into windows and disable the service for telnet.  Then
SynchroNet will be able to attach itself to the port.

Oh, and if your running Linux, which I can't tell from the small amount of
information you provided... You'll need to kill the Telnet server.  You
can keep the SSH stuff, but because SynchroNet needs the telnet port,
it'll have to be shut off or directed to use a non-used port number.

The last thought is you could change the port number in
Synchronet... using say 2323... but this will cause you problems later,
because users will have to take an extra step to connect to you using a
non-standard port, and most don't like changes.  :(
