I'm based in Philadelphia. My current provided is
disabling
telnet capability at the beginning of September. I would like
to know if anyone knows of a service that will permit me that
capability?

Don't use standard ports. My provider (Comcast) blocks port 25 (mail)
inbound and outbound, and doesn't allow relaying through its mail
servers. Instead I use port 2525 and an external mail relay service.
With telnet, you won't need a relay service if anyone accessing your
system knows that it's on a non-standard port.
Do you really need telnet though? SSH preferable if your host can run
it.
