OK.  I've never had any problems with Arris devices.

This sounds like a router or firewall issue.

i would suggest verifying that the port forwards are properly configured on 
your router first, and then check whatever firewall software you have installed 
on your BBS computer.  TCP Port 24554 (BinkP) needs to be forwarded to the LAN 
IP of your BBS computer for IRex to be able to receive incoming BinkP sessions. 
Also check to make sure that TCP port 23 (Telnet) is forwarded so that your 
users can get to the BBS.
