That look correct here is o/p from xinedt.d/mbsebbs

....

# Telnet to the bbs using mblogin, disabled by default.
#
service telnet
{
        disable         = no
        protocol        = tcp
        instances       = 10
        flags           = REUSE
        log_on_failure += USERID
        socket_type     = stream
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/telnetd
        server_args     = -L /home/mbse/bin/mblogin
        wait            = no
}


Not disabled so should be good !

In /etc/services both telnet and ssh are shown as ports 22 & 23.

Hmm, wonder if it is the modem or router but the router should be passing on
ports 22 and 23.
