Telnet is TCP while SIP is usually UDP.

The 'Connection refused' just means you don't have telnetd running (a good 
thing) or anything else (xinetd, honeypot, etc.) listening on that TCP 
port.

127.0.0.1 is assigned to the 'lo' ('loopback') interface and probably not 
filtered by your iptables rules.

If you enable SIP debugging on your home and office Asterisk servers, does 
that yield any clues?

tshark and wireshark may also yield clues.
