If I understand correctly, I each protocol runs with a different port number and I can connect to OSPF with 2604, etc. Is there a way to "telnet in" and have access to all protocols?

vtysh?  I personally would not recommend using telnet.  vtysh ensures
that commands entered are passed to all relevant daemons.  This is
especially important if you have route-maps, access-lists or
prefix-lists that you want to modify in real time and have them used
across multiple daemons.

remove them from the kernel?  FRRouting needs to have the correct
state of the FIB in order to properly handle the rib and to properly
program the fib.  Since FRRouting did not originate the routes we must
respect them.  If you want to override them ensure that they are
installed with a max metric value and FRRouting will do the right
thing from there based upon the admin distance.
