Aside: If you're on a residential (especially cable) internet
provider connection, many/most providers block common server ports
from inbound connections. Try a higher/alternate port, such as 2323
and see if that works instead... you can probably just change the
port forward in your router to listen on 2323 and forward to the
host on 23, so you don't need to change the BBS's config.

Sorry to hijack. I may have this same problem. Port 23 is not letting traffic in. I know all routers are different, but in a generic way, how you do this?

I'd just use 2323 for telnet, if that was my main interest. In your router, eparately.

If you are comfortable with Linux, I'd suggest using a VPS host. This is wh grok, which will route an accessible IP to your internal system for use.

I port forward port 24 to the bbs on port 24 by the internal IP of the bbs machine. 1:275/100. 1:275/1000 is not available from outside, inside only and 'Shenk's Wandering Star' note (tiering with 4 others).

Works flawlessly.

Since 2015 I've been using fiber internet, which offers the same speed for both download and upload. Having such a wide gap between download and upload speed seems weird to me now.. With fiber, even if you have speed as high as gigabit, the gigabit speed is both for upload and download.

I will have to look into that thank you

I need to bite the bullet and get fiber. I'm sitting on a couple of
terabytes of data I'd love to sync with the cloud, but with a bandwidth
cap and 20 mbps upload speed on cable, it'd be painful.

Who do you have, and do they have monthly bandwidth caps?

I have Ziply Fiber. As far as I can tell, they don't have any monthly bandwidth caps.
I'm not sure Ziply Fiber is a widespread ISP though.. From what I've seen, it seems they may be mostly operating in northwest Oregon and in Washington. Ziply took over Frontier Fiber here a few years ago (and Frontier had taken over Verizon Fios here in 2010).

i'm in a big city and my upload sucks. it's just how they cap you.

This weekend I watched a travel blog to the Maldives, and the country developed a new tourist city by dredging dirt and sand from the ocean and building a new city on it. The big draw is when the city was built, gigabit fiber was ran everywere. In reality the reviewer discovered it is not operational everywhere due to the price the provider charges for gigabit access. The telco or development partner who ran the fiber is monopolized,
so they charge ridiulous prices knowing there is no alternative matching their
speed.

An electrical co-op north of me is pulling fiber into my area. I'm waiting
now for to be run down my street. The company is paying $75,000 a mile for running fiber. I think they got it through government funding during Covid.
My area is a broad band no man's land. ATT won't invest in enhancing infrast ructure and Comcast will not spend $10,000 a mile to run cable down a road that has less than 20 houses per mile. On the half mile section I live on there are 4 houses separated by corn fields. I'm going to stick with Hughesnet until the fiber is run. Starlink has a long waiting list in my
area and the price jumps for the price of a reciver and dish. At first they were priced at $500 fo rthe dish, now the price has increased to $750. At first they said no bandwidth caps,but now in reality they say it's necessary.

AT&T FIber just moved in, but because of the street I'm on, AT&T fiber
hangs lowest of all of the cables, and my neighbor's cable has been
clipped by trucks thrice. It's taken 4-5 days to repair it each time -
they roll a mid-sized pickup truck with a 6 foot ladder out with no
chance of repairing it to meet the SLA, then call it in to escalate.

Interesting, I didn't know AT&T was doing fiber these days. AT&T had cable internet service in my area about 20 years ago (theirs was my first broadband internet service), and then that ended up being acquired by Comcast.
