I have no idea of the actual application, but I am guessing you *do* mean telnet via port 23? I would think that a firewall of some description is the best idea if you want to control connections to the machine. If you want to turn on a level of TCP/IP security on the server, you can get to it via the options of advanced properties of the IP settings for the network card(s). Turn on TCP/IP filtering with the appropriate settings. You could install a software firewall.

We are ideally looking for something that can monitor a range of running services and server availability and take remedial action if anything goes wrong (restart server or service) and notify support staff by email, SMS or pager. A flexible reporting tool that can be directly accessed via a browser is also required. Have looked at NetIQ but it is SO expensive !
