First thing, first.
You DON�T want to telnet form the outside of the firewall to the inside.
Telnet uses no crypt and no buffer. Every letter, digit, is clearly
transmitted. Acctually, you don�t ever wanna use telnet.
Any one can be sniffing the net or putting up a listener to your network
device.
Try taking a look at SSH. ( Secure SHell )
start at www.ssh.org ( UNIX )
or search the net for Tera Term, for use in windows ( and the ssh
extention )
Depending on you firewall, different vendors has different ideas.
But, it is almost always possible to redirect telnet to go over a
web proxy, BUT ( bigg BUT ) then you don�t have use for a firewall!

Your other problem, connecting to a UNIX server, check if th UNIX server
is running a process called sshd. ( ask the admin if needed )
Check the version ( ssh-1 or ssh-2 ) download the compatible version,
either binarys from www.ssh.org or search the net for Tera Term ( and ssh
extentions ). BUT now where are back, you do NOT want to telnet over the
firewall.
Kerberos, ( might be misspelled ) is another nice encrypted "telnet" like
thing. Even works with NT.

Like you can browse a ftp site on the net, you can browse a local. If you
gon an ftpserver running, then it�s no problem. (the most common problem)
Nr.2 Depending in you intranet structure, samba, nis, Novel Netware,
"pure" NT. There are a lot of different ways to browse someone elses
harddrive.
Basiclly, it�s like this. You can always browse you own harddrive ( your
browser reads your cache. Try putting in about:mozilla or about:blank or
about:version or something else in the adressline. ( of course
"about:mozilla" is in Netscape))
and if you go an shared hard drive every one else can read it and browse
it as their own.
