Telnet interface

Telnet is communication using TCP-IP ACROSS a network like the Web.

It's possible to use Telnet for User contacts or for BBS to BBS connections.
The default address is (hex 17 = 23 decimal)
The address to use may be 189C (189C hex = 6300 decimal).

But, it is also possible to define another port address,
for example if you want Telnet access to FBB BBS on port 6300,
then change the address of Port 2 to 17 

Tip:
You may put the R letter (Read only default access) which gives a read-only
if the user is unknown or not authorized for Modem/Telnet (M Flag in EU command).

Example of PORT.SYS with Telnet

PORT.SYS with 1 KISS TNC,
4 channels, 1 channel for outgoing forward,
and one Telnet interface listening on port 6300,
8 channels, 1 channel for outgoing forward.

# Interface   9 = Linux.  Work with;
#			serial port (D)
#			AX25 socket (X)
#			Telnet port (T)
#
# Address is the device name (/dev/cua0).
#             Be sure you have the rights to access to the device (rw-rw-rw-).
#             When using kernel Ax.25 socket, address is not used.
#             When using Telnet, address is the Telnet port in Hex (Hex 17 = Telnet port 23)
# Baud      : Port's baud rate. Ignored by Ax.25 socket and Telnet.
#
# Use same number of lines as number of ports.

# TNC     : Number on TNC in use.  Use 0 for file-forward !
# NbCh    : Number of channels I want to use in the TNC.
#           Maximum available channels depend on firmware.
# Com     : Number of the COM-port. Com1, Com2 etc.
# MultCh  : Number of channel if port-multiplexer is used, otherwise 1.
#           In DRSI use values from 0 to 7, by KAM use 1/VHF and 2/HF.
#           When using kernel AF_AX25 socket in Linux, MultCh is the
#           interface name (eg: ax0)
# Paclen  : PACLEN on this TNC.
# Maxframe: The maximum nb of frames the TNC will send at a time.
# NbFwd   : Number of channels for OUTGOING forward at same time.
# MxBloc  : Size of forward-block in kb.
# M/P-Fwd : Minute of the hour for start of forward, and period
#           (how many minutes between each forward-start).
# Port mode, one of these:
#           B : BBS-mode.
#           G : "Guest"-mode.
#           U : Normal-mode.
# Type host-mode, one of these:
#           D : WA8DED
#           K : KAM hostmode.  Must use ESSKAM driver.
#           P : PK-232
#           Q : BPQ v 4.x
#           T : Ethernet/TCP-IP
#           X : AX25 domain socket (for Linux)
# Addition: One or more of these letters can be used too:
#           L : Send unproto beacon after each arriving mail.
#           M : Telephone-modem.
#           Y : Yapp allowed on this QRG.
#           W : Gateway allowed TO this QRG.
#           R : Modem port allowed in Read-only mode.
# Freq.   : Text to describe this port (max 9 characters, no space)
