This is on a D-Link DSL-G604T with the latest firmware 
(V1.00B02T02.UK.20050815).

It has a public IP address with routed subnet.
The basic firewall is enabled.
The DMZ IP address is the IP of the host on the routed subnet 
through which I am connecting (eg another firewall/router).
Remote web/telnet is enabled for that IP address through the 
web interface in "Advanced"->"Advanced Security".

I think that in the default setup that telnet was enabled for 
the local NAT'ed subnet.


Output of telnet:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ telnet <IP_ADDRESS>
Trying <IP_ADDRESS>...
Connected to <HOSTNAME> (<IP_ADDRESS>).
Escape character is '^]'.
