Goofy telnet issue
Greetings! My name is Jerry. I am a long time IBM i-series (AS/400) admin. I am the solo IT guy at a $50M company, we run mostly Windows servers on virtual machines, I do have one i-series, and one p-series.
Recently, we have decided to go with a legacy product that is proven and bulletproof, it runs on AIX, so I dusted my P5 off and fired it up. It immediately came online and I was able to telnet and log in from local, and through a port forward on 23 through my Sonicwall firewall.
The port forwarding did work a couple times throughout the day, and MAY have coincided with bringing the machine up with a manual IPL.
Everything looks right on the firewall, and I have redone it 4 times, I am no stranger to setting up virtual servers on Sonicwall.
I am wondering, since we have changed ISP's since we last used this server, if it is possible it has some sort of built in firewall or ip address filtering not allowing it to take connections from outside my local network?
Anybody seen something like this before?
If you think you would like to take a look in my box, PM me, I am give you connection info.
Thanks in advance!
Jerry

It appears as though the system has full connectivity immediately after a reboot. But loses telnet ability to client outside my local network after a half hour or so...

tcom

TCOM(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   TCOM(4)

NAME

     tcom -- multiplexing serial communications interface

SYNOPSIS

     For 4-port TC-400 series boards:

     tcom0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5
     com2 at tcom? slave ?
     com3 at tcom? slave ?
     com4 at tcom? slave ?
     com5 at tcom? slave ?

     For 8-port TC-800 series boards:

     tcom0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5
     com2 at tcom? slave ?
     com3 at tcom? slave ?
     com4 at tcom? slave ?
     com5 at tcom? slave ?
     com6 at tcom? slave ?
     com7 at tcom? slave ?
     com8 at tcom? slave ?
     com9 at tcom? slave ?

DESCRIPTION

     The tcom driver provides support for the Byte Runner Technologies TC-400 and TC-800 series boards that multiplex together up to four or eight
     EIA RS-232C (CCITT V.28) communications interfaces.

     Each tcom device is the master device for up to eight com devices.  The kernel configuration specifies these com devices as slave devices of
     the tcom device, as shown in the synopsis.  The slave ID given for each com device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing regis-
     ter is tested to find interrupts for that device.	The port specification for the tcom device is used to compute the base addresses for the
     com subdevices and the port for the interrupt multiplexing register.

     Not all possible configuration options are currently supported (for example, speeds beyond 115200 baud are not currently supported).

FILES

     /dev/tty??

SEE ALSO

     com(4)

HISTORY

     The tcom driver was written by Jukka Marin.
