The only reason the same port is being used, is because it's only one telnet server. It's a single telnet server that acts as a frontend for more than one thing (in the Argus family, it happens to be for a mailer and a BBS. Other softwares (Gamesrv, Synchronet, others?) can do the same, though maybe not with a mailer, but you could answer with either listed above, and then have a menu of services to pick from if you wish (ie: you could run multiple BBSs if that's what you fancy).
