That won't fool anyone. A portscanner will show up something
listening on port 24 very easily. It doesn't take much after
that to determine it is telnet.
If you are wanting to connect to your machine in a secure way,
totally remove telnet from the system completely, and install
openssh (which comes with Seawolf).
ssh is much more secure. ssh clients abound for any OS.
