Hello,
What I am trying to do is access(FTP or Telnet) my Ultra5 box from work. I have a linksys router 4 port asigning ip's (dhcp) to 3 of my machines including the ultra5. I can telnet and ftp internally fine. What do I need to do to get outside access?? Any help will be apprciecated. Thanks

Well, if you're using dhcp, your IP isn't always going to be the same, right? Try pinging yopu
First, try to ping it: http://www.kloth.net/services/ping.php
Assuming that works, then try to telnet. If you still can't reach it, then you'll want to check that telnet is under the auspices of /etc/inet/inetd.conf. If it is, then... I don't know. Cable and DSL networks have their downsides.

What you need to do is give the U5 a hard coded Ip.. then in your linksys router go to advanced/port forwarding/upnp and pass all incoming requests for ftp/telnet 21/23 to the ip of the U5.
