   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.
