How about this? A regular telnet session is initiated by a client to a
host. A reverse telnet session is initiated by the host to a client. The
host in this case would be the router calling a modem that's connected to an
async interface. That's how I look at it anyway. Anyone care to comment?

"Performing a reverse Telnet means that you are initiating a Telnet session
out the asynchronous line, instead of accepting a connection into the line
(called a forward connection)."
Does that help?
