Can you telnet into port 81 from the outside and get a response?  I
usually just do a "Get index.html" just to see if I get an error.

Yes, stop using telnet on the Internet and use SSH. ;-)  If you've got
external telnet enabled on your router, you're an open book to even
the worst of the script-kiddies.  If your router doesn't support
direct SSH, then enable SSH on an internal machine, and have the
router forward it back to that machine.  Once you've SSHed into an
internal machine, you can telnet in to the internal IP of your router
over your internal wire, which'll be a little more secure.
