You could use the INI parsing functions to read that out of
/sbbs/ctrl/sbbs.ini, like so:
var f = new File(system.ctrl_dir + "sbbs.ini");
f.open("r");
var telnetPort = f.iniGetValue("BBS", "TelnetPort");
f.close();
(That's off the top of my head, syntax may differ slightly.)

Not that I'm aware of - typically it's a matter of disallowing multiple logons
from the same account rather than IP - but there could be such a setting
somewhere. If so, not enabled by default afaik.

Ask DM for a CVS account, or ask someone with a CVS account to post it for you.
