Telnetting from a remote network

If you wish to reach shell.w-link.net from your office, school, or another ISP's network, you will need to know the IP address from which you will be telnetting in. For security reasons, Worldlink does not allow telnet connections from unknown IP addresses. If you wish to have us allow you to telnet from another network, please call or email technical support (support@w-link.net) with the IP address you will be accessing us from. In some cases, we can open up access to a range of IP addresses (such as a class C) or several individual addresses.
