I have an ipchains firewall that is setup like this:

                                  Public Internet
                                        |
                                        v
                                          DMZ  -->  External Interface |
                                                                   v
                                                                IPchains 
                                                                   |
                                                                   v
                                                   Internal Interface &&
Private Network 

Telnet-ing from private network to server box on DMZ that are internet
reachable I notice that my connections randomly get dropped and firewall is
not logging any denials on port 23.  I also notice this when trying to use
Secure Connect Manager ( I am not allowing tftp through my firewall and this
should be getting blocked and logged as the last three rules are )
#
#  End of allowances.
#  Now put catch-all rules here.
#
$IPCHAINS -A input -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l -j REJECT
$IPCHAINS -A output -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l -j REJECT
$IPCHAINS -A forward -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l -j REJECT

I don't care about the Ascend stuff as I'm scapping it for a Cisco anyway.
I'm just wondering why telnet through firewall to my DMZ servers get
randomly dropped.  All MTU's are 1500.  I do notice 27% errors on netstat
for the external interface.
