Remote Writers, Outqs and firewalls.

I thought this would be easy but..

I am trying to use a remote outq to transfer spool files from an i5 (V5R3M0)
in New Jersey to a Model 800 (V5R2M0) in Utah. I think I got the crtoutq
command correct, the i5 points to the internet address of the model 800 but
the status remains as SND, it never arrives.

We opened up port 515 on our firewall to allow inbound traffic.  The LPD
server is running in both locations.  NETSTAT *CNN shows that the 800 is
listening on 515.

What is the best way to figure this out?  I tried telnet from the i5 to port
515 on the 800 but never got a connection.  Is that the best test to use to
see if the port is open all the way through, or is there a better way?  For
what it is worth we have Microsoft ISA 2000 (Infernal Server and Aggravator)
as our firewall.
