Thanks for taking time to awnser this, you awnsered almost all my questions. Even if the awnser was not the one I wanted to hear :) I realize that source-routed packets are a security concern, but had no idea that anything except strict firewalls were blocking them. I would still like to test this out, do you still have a copy of that source route enabled telnet sitting around? I would love to get a copy. Sounds like it would be a decent tool to test if any routers are filtering packets with the source-route flag set.

Yep, I wanted to be able to do this with applications I do not have the source to. eg. windows boxes behind a linux masq server.
