It's pretty easy, actually, assuming you have a BSD-like TCP/IP. The
servers that run on various ports are all configured in
/etc/inetd.conf. Nowhere is it written that /usr/etc/in.telnetd has
to run on port 23. (Well, okay, it's probably written in an RFC
somewhere.) Feel free to run /usr/etc/in.uucpd or something similar
on port 23. (With the realization, of course, that you will probably
confuse the hell out of anyone who happens to telnet to your machine.)
This discussion should probably be moved to comp.protocols.tcp-ip.
