Telnet? - Belkin Pre-N Wireless Router

Dear Group

Can anyone tell me whether this device supports telnet access?
Called the support line and they escalated my call. Typical.

What port shall I use? 23 doesn't work. 80 just hangs the connection
without the password prompt coming up.

Device details:
Belkin Product Part Code: F5D8230-4
Product Version Number (If Applicable): 2000UK
Serial Number (If Applicable): BEL25PVR

Enabled Remote assistance for any IP but didn't change the port from 80
to 23 as otherwise the web based interface won't come up. Note that I
try to administer the router from within a private LAN. Doesn't act as
a DHCP. Another router does this but I'm connecting to the device
directly over wireless. Any firewall settings?

'If it doesn't do telnet I may just put it in the bin.'

My Belkin G125+ router (F5D7231-4) has the option to route virtual servers
in the firewall settings, the list contains a setting for Telnet Server.
Tried that one yet?
