I discovered that Spectrum silently blocks port 23 so I have kept the BBS'
telnet port on 10123.  They also block the QOTD port.  I chose to keep the
SSH port on 22 but if I moved it elsewhere, I'd have no issues, but I am not
letting script kiddies dictate my hobby.

If you take a look at this webpage about blocked ports, you'll notice that
Spectrum says nothing about blocking port 23 but they do:
