Grex Internet Item 136: Telnet access
Entered by vvasrani on Tue Jul 14 06:01:08 UTC 1998:

Is there any site ( at port greater than 1024 ) which provides telnet
access. I can access services at ports greater than 1024 but not
those below it. Does any one know of any site that offers this.

Thanx in advance.

It doesn't look like anyone knows of any.

If you're trying to get past firewalls that block port 23, I see where you
are coming from.  At one time you could telnet from our schools, but then
they blocked that.  The only such luck I had was a little bit of fun and
tweaking with /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf on my Linux system, had it
dial up at the times I wanted to use it (using crontab) and had a second
port running telnetd...  If you can talk a UNIX sysadmin into setting up
a second telnet port (add a new service to /etc/services and then put an
entry for that service in /etc/inetd.conf and have it run telnetd) then
you might be in luck.  Grex has no such port as far as I know.  Most systems
don't, but if you're lucky you can find someone who will help. 

Another idea is get a shell that allows background processes and run a
small program called datapipe to pipe a connection to a >1024 port to
wherever you want...
