RE: How to determine telnet address

DOH! Your subject line says you are trying to do TELNET! Telnet is port
23. Your firewall probably doesn't have that opened. Are you opening up
TELNET for just debugging or are your customers now going to get 5250
screens?

We do not open up telnet to the outside. We have to use a VPN client on
the outside and then we can do telnet to whatever we choose in our
network.

The default telnet client (without SSH turned on) sends passwords in the
clear. Not a good idea to be doing from the internet. VPN helps.
