I didn't set up any. I thought I read every set of instructions I could find
(even printing them out and organizing them - highlighting important stuff
but I don't remember reading anything about setting up tcprules. I'll look
again.

Well I get nothing. Using the windows telnet client:
start run telnet mail.cybergood.net
(I get a normal login)
start run telnet mail.cybergood.net 100
(I get the hour glass - then a connect failed)
I think you've hit on the problem, I need to set up tcp rules. I wonder why
it succeeds though on my network? My Linux machine is locally 192.168.0.1
and my windows machine is 192.168.0.2
