No vanilla version of DGD will give you this, unfortunately.

I don't know if somebody's upgraded NET. Of course if you do use the NET 
package, muptiple telnet/binary ports becomes irrelevant since you take 
over port handling entirely.

Yeah, making NET work with atomic functions is not entirely trivial.

Good luck!
