I have your run of the mill 10.1.1.0 network with Linux 2.0.36
performing IP Masquerading from the eth0 to the ppp0.

The Linux firewall is eth0:             10.1.1.1
                    ppp0:               1.2.3.4

I have a telnet client running on 10.1.1.20

I want to telnet into the 10.1.1.20 box from outside my network on
some arbitrary port, say 9999.  So "telnet 1.2.3.4:9999" and have the
firewall translate all port 9999 packets and forward them to 10.1.1.20
on some port (I guess 9999 would work)  What ipfwadm commands do I
need to run to do this?

Better yet, use SSH to make a secure telnet connection.
