Don't most flavors of unix support the /etc/nologin file? The contents

Can't You use dbpause
vi your inet.sec file and only allow your workstation ip to connect to the
server via TELNET , this keeps everyone out but you.
put your ip addres on the TELNET line, normally this commented or removed.

Here's how I do it in a script named /usr/bin/prevlogin:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# Karl
# prevlogin, prevent logins
# place in /usr/bin
if [ $# -ge 1 ]
then
a=`/bin/echo $1 | /usr/bin/cut -c1 | /usr/bin/tr YN yn`
if [ $a = y ]
then
shift
/bin/cp /etc/nologin.klp /etc/nologin
chmod 444
