&gt; for existing ports in a regular OS, use the same portnumber with a
&gt; prefix of 66.

This idea doesn't work so well for ports above 99 (e.g. news at 117).

&gt; Following this scheme it would be a good idea to change 6666 to 6623
&gt; (telnet), although that is only a shy rationalization, since you
&gt; should be using a client other than telnet.

Moreover, as far as I know, no existing core implements the telnet
protocol (see RFC 854).
