Exactly what is reverse telnet and how does this relate to TCP portnumbers?
>From what I know, normally a server, e.g. a router, is running a Telnet deamon. This deamon is waiting for incoming connections on its serverport 23. So I guess, after the init, a client sends a packet Dest Port = 23, then the server responds with Source Port 23, Dest Port = something above the 1023 range and we have Telnet. I red that with reserve telnet, port 2000 + tty number is used. So how must I figure this: does the client send to packet to the Telnet deamon on the router on Dest port 2003? or how does this work and why is it called reverse?
