Thanks for the info. I modified mt port.sys to include the telnet port
and it works without problem. I am using a non-standard port number for
the FBB telnet. i.e. port 3602. This follows the sequence I have been
using, 3600 for the convers, 3601 for the Linux node user interface and
now 3602 for the BBS. I have also setup one port for the axip worm
hole. Everything working fine so far.

The node.c code in ax25-utils may have what you are looking for,
