But that is not your IP address. Your source address is .2, and you are
saying telnet to .2 from .3. Your machine does not seem to know anything
about .3, so how can it use it as a source IP ?
If you did
ifconfig fxp0 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias
you could then do
telnet -s 172.16.0.1 192.168.0.2
