This actually pointed me in the right direction,  though I am not going to
mess with setcap because it looks like I would need to make the changes every
thime i upgrade.  I just set the port to 2023 and will set my ip forwarding
ruls on the router to redirect 23=>2023.  

These changes fixed the initial errors I was having and all the errors are
gone,  the problem is the BBS just hangs now when you enter a door.  The best
I can figure is that it is launching in local mode.  For the purposes of this
test I actually was testing on the Tradewars 2002 editor which can run as a
door.  I've included relevant info below, hopefully somebody sees a mistake
somewhere.  This works when I log in locally to the bbs, and loads tedit
which leads me to believe that I have either made a mistake with the com port
or the fossil.
