On my network, the BBS is on 2222/2323 for ssh/telnet.  In my router, I forward 22 -> 2222 and 23 -> 2323 so that fom outside, I am on standard ports, making it easy for users.

I also forward 2222 -> 2222 and 2323 -> 2323.  Since my terminal software is configged on 2222/2323 for interal access, I forward these in case I was away from home with my laptop and didnt want to change the port setting in Syncterm.  Yeah -- this one is purely a laziness move :)
