i think they meant to write 'phone number' not sure about the port, most of my modem-to-modem communication was very low-level (and did not last long :) )

- wrs 5y agoTelnet is a protocol on the Internet, not a predecessor of the Internet. To connect to a BBS using phone lines, you just dialed its phone number; this has no relation to the Internet. Even if we generously consider a phone number to be a “connection address”, there’s no “port” involved and DNS has nothing to do with phone numbers.
