Between the brownouts during calm weather & attempting to get Arca to answer
on something other than port 23...is there anything I need to edit in the
HOSTS & SERVICES files or any other files to open up non-standard ports?
Using DD-WRT...am confused which "port forwarding" section I need to set up
for these ports...combined with anything in Arca.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm assuming you're using SIO/VMODEM here.

Go into the \mptn\etc\services file. Comment out the telnet ports and add something like this:

vmotelnet 10123/tcp
vmotelnet 10123/udp

Save and reboot.

That's what I do here.

Note you can only have one telnet port open. You can't double-dip. :D

To quote a yellow man with "perfect" kids...D'OH! Will do this tomorrow while waiting for Windows 10 to reload itself on an 480 GB SSD I got in yesterday on this box.

Thanks again!

Sure thing. It's covered in more detail in the VMODEM docs.

You know, those documents we never read. <G>

It took me twenty years to figure it out ...
