SBBS accepts incoming connections on port 23, as does any other BBS software unless you tell it to do otherwise. FTN transfer over "telnet" should have (and maybe is?) always been defaulted to a different port. I believe BBBS does this on a high port (maybe even higher than the 24554 binkp port?).
Either way, I'm sure that was known when the FTN over telnet protocol was created.
Does the Argus/Taurus/Radius family have a port setting for telnet transfer connections? If so, that should be the one changed if you're running a BBS over telnet, port 23.
