Tom, I did go through the FAQs 1a and 1b but will try again, maybe a nights
sleep will improve me view.

Unfortunately my software vendor for some old software on an alpha server
can only use telnet and ftp to do updates and maintenance on my ancient
software system.  I protested a great deal about having open telnet access
but they gave me an ultimatum of "give us access the way we want" or "we
wont support your old software and your on your own with our proprietary
poorly designed junk".  I may have taken some liberties on quoting their
response :)

I will at least limit the DNAT to their IP address as the source.  I was
thinking of putting some kind of ssh/terminal emulator in a browser but i
need VT400 emulation which I can't find in a java terminal emulator.  The
vendor is afraid of putty for some reason :( and wont use a VPN to get to me
:(
