That's not true. telnetd, when started from inted, typically uses the
port number for the telnet service entry as set in /etc/services. So you
can change it that way. The -debug option also permits you to setup a
separate port, although that isn't really useful, here.
In /etc/services you'll find:
telnet 23/tcp
telnet 23/udp
change them to, say,
telnet 24/tcp
telnet 24/udp
and restart inetd (kill -HUP <pid of inetd>). The telnet daemon should
now be accepting connections on port 24. True, now it makes telneting to
the shell require a bit more typing, but if that's too much work, don't
bother running a Mud...
