Re: hosts.allow/hosts.deny

  Well, 

        In the latest V4R3 release there is Native IP filtering and NAT 
support. However, if you want to do this (only for Telnet) then you can 
write some code that will look at the connecting device and either 
reroute to a differt subsystem, allow accesss in the default subsystem, 
or refuse access.  

        I have done this code before and it is not very difficult.
