I've considered that, and if I can get any port to open, I will gladly use telnet. Hell, if I could open all 1000 ports now, I would!

Port 22 is a privileged port. You should consider using 1024 or higher. If the listening port is open on the firewall, the commands you gave above should connect. If you type something on the client side, you should see it typed on the antiX machine, and the other way round. This will however not give you a login terminal. To do that, you need something that handles logins to listen on your netcat. This isn't something I've done, so can't give you more directions here. If you don't care about the connection being secure, which you don't seem to, you might as well try: apt install telnetd and open tcp 23 on your firewall.

This is something the antiX documentation should tell you. What does it use for PID1 or init? > question: > If I reboot, if the long iptables command worked, will it stick if I > reboot?

You need to save the firewall configuration once you changed it for it to persist across reboots. I haven't used ufw, so you will need to read up on how to do that. If port tcp 22 shows up as not filtered but closed, then the port is open, but there is no ssh service running.
