I don’t see why that site needs your email address & Ip
This is a great site for testing. http://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2
Telnet ----Time Warner etc use this port to update firmware & files.
The port is closed & secure.
You can not stealth it.
The companies are fully aware of these pipelines & wouldn’t think they would allow a hacker to use this port.
I don’t know whether these companies let you use your own router or not.
Just forget it & happy surfing.
My ISP is Time Warner RoadRunner. I use my own router (it's allowed), and using GRC's Shields Up shows port 23 as stealthed. All ports test as stealth. Stealthed or closed would both be considered safe, I would think.
