One will also have to make sure that the client machine has the right sort
of tcp packet wrapper. Many firewalls are set up to us SOCKS, and trying
to use telnet through a SOCKS firewall requires a SOCSK-aware tcp "stack"
or package on the client machine. The fact that a browser works on that
client machine should not be indicative that the tcp stack is SOCKS-aware
either as many browsers will bring their own SOCKS support.

This condition is, of course, in *addition* to the requirement of having
the firewall configured to pass telnet traffic.
