I don't see where you've entered any authentication in your telnet
session. Given that you entered an outside address, failure is normal.
Otherwise you'd be an open relay.
I think your decision to upgrade/migrate to CentOS is wise. If you use
qtp-backup and qtp-restore, it should be rather painless. Just some down
time is all.
