Well, after determining that it wasn't our firewall, our router, our
server, or our ISP's router (they could telnet into us), we figured out
that it was Qwest...

They still had our block of IPs listed as theirs, and this weekend they
designated it as "secure", and they blocked telnet.  After some phone
calls and a little bit of time, they undid what the did, and we are up
and running.

Thanks to all who responded.

Jason,

If you have more then one IP from your ISP that is a spare try the
following.
   * From a computer on the WAN side of your network with one a Extra IP

from your ISP, or even from your DMZ try to see if you can telnet to
your 
network.   If you can from there and not from the Internet ( remote
users ) 
then check the Router and your ISP's hardware.

Always divide and conquer the task's.

You also don't say what model of the SW or Version of the firmware you
are 
using.  This could be useful also.

James
