After much discussion around here, in this case (telnet over the Internet)
SSH is probably the safer way of doing it. If you want to use telnet though,
with a PIX you would use a couple of commands something like:

static (inside,outside) <advertised address> <internal address of server>
netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
conduit permit tcp host <advertised address> eq telnet host <ip address you
want to permit>

It depends on the firewall, but Firewall-1 can do this, sort
of.  You have to open up another port (259).  One would then
telnet to that and authenticate.  It notes your IP address
and checks the rules for what you're allowed to do, and
opens the appropriate ports to the appropriate IP addresses
from your IP address (whatever it might be at the time).
Does that make sense?  If other firewalls can do this, I'd
like to know about it.

Hope this helps.
