When you say you've validated the server accepts telnet connections, did you
manually start the native telnetd listener on the system through xinet.d or
something?  Or have you configured sbbs to listen on another, non-standard
telnet port on the same system?  (Remember, you cannot have two daemons
listening on the same port/same IP/same box.)  If it's a non-standard port
(other than 23), did you remember to add that to Bastille/iptables so the
system accepts connections on that other port?
