Except they're not looking for BBSes, most of those port scanners are
looking for vulnerable services. It takes time to scan 65355 ports, so
it's much quicker to only scan the ones you know the vulnerable services
you are looking for are running on.

Yes, I still get port scans on port 2323, I get a LOT less than on port
23.

I got almost none when using port 11892.
