I have a machine on a subnet (mask is 255.255.255.224) that I want to 
use as a firewall.

I can telnet into the machine from the internet ok, but other machines
on the local exposed net or the internal net can't connect to the
telnet daemon.

I get:

    fw: {4} telnet fw
    Trying 205.162.31.34...
    Connected to fw.vcsnet.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.

and it just hangs...

Any suggestions?
