[ale] Running a app on Telnet

[Chuck Payne]

Guys,

This is a bit of old school, I got a group of buddies that want to do
some RPG, for you young kids that Role Playing Games, One of my
buddies asked is there a way I could set up a pick your own path game
for as he over sea wants to do a bit solo playing.

OK where I need some input. I like to set up a app to be able to run
so that he can use telnet to get to. I like to also jail the app to
make it secure.

Yes, I know. Text Base Pick your Path are very very old school. But me
any my buddies are from back in the days of Scott Adams Adventures. I
am loving this because they ask me to dust off a couple Tunnels and
Trolls Pocket games that I wrote in basic ( NOT V. Basic, but the real
Basic remember  10 Print  20 goto ) that I am covering to bash, but
looking and putting into mysql with python.)

Anyway, I know I can set it up as service and a uniq port. What I am
lost how  is my friend Bod, does this...

telnet mybox.com 9866


That the app will start. I firgure that there a couple ppl on the list
that might know how.

It not as simple as when I ran a BBS.

Thanks for any you can give this old geek. I am also helping my
buddies, but rest up my MUD and Crossfire.
