As mentioned before, I am only using telnet for testing as ssh / scp is far better. And I am trying to do this in the simplest of cases ... one machine telnets to the other just to prove I can make a connection (as in understanding iptables et al to be able to then solve more useful problems, like mail / mailx ... which may prove to be less acceptable than scp after I can test drive).
