Hi,

Since the reason you can't connect to the remote host is "Permission
denied", my guess is that some filtering is going on in the remote network
to deny telnets from "unknown" locations.  For example, it is very easy to
only allow telnet connections within a certain IP block, etc.  This is a
common function of firewalls.
