I take it you are not at home and trying to telnet into the Apex.

It has a hung error message in its telnet programming it's on page 23 of the unofficial apex guide that has to be cleared so it can start sending messages again -curt

You're probably not going to be able to Telnet into the Apex unless you setup port forwarding for that on your firewall/cable router/FIOS router/whatever the same way as for the web browser and iPhone app access. The same setup that you would have to do to get the web access to work remotely (forwarding port 80), you'll need to do with TCP port 23 to allow the telnet connection.
