I am looking for a telnet implementation that allows connection
to a tcp port other than 23 (the default port for telnet).

I have tried both Sun's and NCSA's products, but neither has a
provision to specify a port other than 23.

I know this is possible, since the telnet implementation on our
Sequent (UNIX) Symmetry has this feature.

In case you are wondering why this feature is desireable:
we have an async server that allows each port to be configured
with a unique tcp port address (>1025).  With out being to
specify the port all "calls" go to the default port 23.
