113 - auth
587 - i still can't tell, I'm on my windows o.s. You can try running lsof or
netstat. I prefer lsof.

use ssh instead of telnet is hard. and besides they like to just type
"telnet domain" in run of windows.
Well, If I were you, if you can trust the people inside, then just retain
telnet.
Also, create a firewall policy/rule wherein telnet is REJECTed on the
external interface
of your firewall and instead use SSH. I would suggest you use
RSAAuthentication on sshd_config.
and put NO to PermitRootLogon.

I have successfully connected the following client to my sshd server.
- Tera Term with TTSSH
- Putty-X86, not just PUTTY
- Secure-CRT, quite nice, it supports RSA and 3DES
- SSH Secure-Shell by SSH Communications Security Corp
If you really want them to use an SSH gui client, demonstrate the weakness
of cleartext by hijacking their telnet session.
Btw, I tried hijacking an SSH session, it doesn't work. Coz the program that
I'm using only knows cleartext.
