I have a small pgm called "redir" that I picked up God only knows
where or when, that does something like this. You basically run
it on the gateway machine, and tell it to listen on - say - port
2300 and then forward all connections on that port to port 23 of
some specified host. Essentially the same as what "ssh -R ..."
does or even netcat, I think. Let me know ifyou want the source.
For general purpose "telnet to anywhere" Arun is right - no
substitute for IP masq.
