Re: Change telnet to another port?

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm a little confused...  The port 23 "they" (your provider) are using
to set up your DSL line should be the IP of your DSL router (your
default gateway) and not your AS/400, so that shouldn't cause any
conflict at all.

If your provider is blocking port 23 on your AS/400 they are doing
something wrong, IMO.  Are you sure your telnet is working on your
AS/400?  Have you tried "TELNET LOCALHOST" on your AS/400
and see if you can get a log in screen?  (To get out of it, hit system
request, then 99).

This just doesn't sound right to me.
