[QUOTE="charli181, post: 233015, member: 54408"] the telnet function is a test. The asterisk box does not need the telnet service turned on. This is an old IT trick to ensure you can connect to a specific port on a Server where an Application is listenind. This trick can be used for POP3 Servers, SMTP, vitually anything. The command to get it to connect to the right port is as follows: From a command prompt; telnet servername portnumber eg. telnet mypop3server 21 the response back should either be a blank screen or asking for a user name.
