So I checked those setting and they where correct.  So I ended up adding 6 new
ports name pts/1 thru /6.  I was then able to telnet in from my work machine
(on a completely different ISP) through telnet.  The original 1 thru 6 are
still using tty1 thru tty6 and are basically local only ports (must be at
console).  Any way it works now so I'm happier.  Now I just got to get my door
games and systemd start up script working.  For now I'm logging in at tty1 
with
 my mbse user and running mbtask manually.
