The details are a bit muddled in this report. If you're saying that you do
'telnet localhost 1500' within the TSM server system and you get a refusal,
that speaks to the protocol stack, where there is no networking involvement; if
you get no response to the telnet and the session endures, that's normal, with
no protocol interaction. The better test is a query from a collocated TSM
client, and then a remote one, with examination of the Activity Log; and
perform an iptrace to see what's really happening in the transmissions back and
forth.
