Jim, when you say the i firewall are you talking about the packet filter?

A Cisco 5505 is about $450 US right now and would do the trick very nicely, however, have you considered that the IBM i has a firewall built in? You can achieve all the things that have been discussed at no cost, with a combination of 1) locking the real firewall so no telnet traffic goes through it (most of my clients have done this), 2) putting the address and port rules into the IBM i, and 3) if needed, put up a telnet exit program if it is still warranted.
The IBM i firewall option, free. Takes about 20 minutes to do and works as well as any other firewall solution.

They could buy another firewall and place it between the network and the iSeries.
