You could always configure SSH instead of telnet. PIX boxes accept SSH connections coming from the outside interface.

What does ICMP have to do with Telnet or the PDM?? Mindiani- To answer your question, yes there is an alleged way of doing what you're wanting to do. I have not done it myself yet, but there is an example on CCO of how to do such a configuration. Pad Pad Pad http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/110/pdm_vpntun.html For Telnet, as far as I know, there isn't a way to telnet to the PIX from the outside- it's considered a security risk by the firewall group at Cisco, so they don't allow for it. If you want to telnet to the PIX, create a rule on the PIX that allows your specific Internet Host to connect to a telnet device such as a Switch or a Unix box (or even the Telnet Server on Win2K if I dare suggest it), and then hit the PIX from that telnet host. Be sure and configure the PIX with the "telnet 'inside-host-ip' 255.255.255.255 inside" command. Good luck, and let us know how you do!

I think the PIX blocks icmp unless you specifically open a conduit for it.
