Start the telnet server listening on port 22 (the ssh port) and configure your (secure) telnet client to connect to it. Et voila! No more nasty, smelly port 23! Even though it's an SNA network, don't you still have the policy of encrypting passwords over a network? (Undoubtedly the rationale for burying evil telnet in favor of the angelic ssh.)
