I have no choice, the modem can only handle telnet

I walked around and fixed this problem.

But  with remote  telnet I got this

[zhang at tring ~]$ telnet 79.15.54.181  7777
Trying 79.15.54.181...
telnet: connect to address 79.15.54.181: Connection timed out

In fact the server did show any response
