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.

I am a substitute teacher and therefore have to deal with
a variety of workstations.
I am also not constantly on line so I need a repository to
hold my mail until I can get it. I could use the Yahoo
e-mail address but my own machine suffers from flakey
landlines which makes waiting for loading and refresh less
than fun.

Where is this? In my area comcast blocks 25 inbound, but doesn't seem
to mind outgoing SMTP.
