>Mikhail V. Beilin asks,"Is any possibility to use nonstandard telnet port=20
(instead of 23) while connect to a host?"
 
Edit SERVICES to use the port you want:
 
# The form for each entry is:
# <official service name>    <port number/protocol name>    <aliases>
#
# See the services(4) manual page for more information.
# Note: The entries cannot be preceded by a blank space.
#
ftp          21/tcp
telnet       23/tcp
 
This file should reside in your path on Windows and Unix machines.  It may=20
be documented in your Network Provider's manual (eg for Reflection this fil=
e=20
is in the WRQNET directory).  It is called SERVICES.NET.SYS in MPE.
