Generally, telnet is quite useful as a diagnostic. However, I'm not
convinced of its' usefulness in this scenario, because SBS only
actually listens on port 4125 when it needs to (ie you're attempting to
actually use the RWW). My post was just pointing out that your telnet
command was wrong (as evinced by the fact it was trying to communicate
on port 23, the standard telnet port).
You need to access the router configuration and check that 4125 is
being forwarded (same place you check that port 443 is put through).
