Well, I don't really know what we're dealing with here.  If it were a pure 
Cisco machine (as opposed to a Linksys) then it may not have loopback 
configured and the "remote" admin would only be accessible from the WAN.  It 
would truly be remote access.

Count yourself lucky.  I'd rather have to deal with Linux IP Tables than IOS 
any time!

Once you access it via telnet, have a look for any log rules in IP Tables 
(/sbin/iptables -L -v -n) and perhaps all we need to do is modify those.
