What I am saying is with the argument telnet:1494 it is doing a telnet test to a telnet daemon, on port 23. You're going about trying to test port 1494 all wrong.
Telnet doesn't *have* to connect to port 23. Try "telnet yourmailserver 25". If you know what to tell it, you can talk your mail daemon into accepting email direct from your keyboard...
Anyway according to the bb-hosts man page, under "Simple Network Tests":
"You can modify the behaviour of these tests on a per-test basis by adding one or more modifiers to the test: *:NUMBER* changes the port number from the default to the one you specify for this test. E.g. to test ssh running on port 8022, specify the test as *ssh:8022*."

In that chain Henrik pointed out a different way to do the check, the "proper way", if you like:
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/02/msg00172.htmlwhich is to add an entry to the bb-services file, with possible send/expect sequences. When I originally set up Hobbit it was taking over from a BB installation, which didn't have the bb-services file. I had the telnet:1494 test working in BB and I wasn't surprised when it continued to work in Hobbit.
