That's the 'port forwarding' mapping port requests for the telnet port 
to the same port on an internal machine. That I understand.

Now I see. I mis read the original post on this. Basically you have 
two different options going on. One to forward to the telnet port on a 
specific machine, the other to allow telnet access to the router.  
Telnetting to the router can be set to three levels: non allowed, 
internal acces only, or whole world access.  Soory about dragging 
this out *way* longer than necessary.

Have a groovy..and thanks for the clarification.
