Cisco 1720 - Disable Telnet on Serial Interface

I'm not a Cisco newb but I'm no expert either.

I'm running a Cisco 1720 (IOS 12.2(40) no PIX, no 3DES support) rouer with 1 WIC-DSU-CSU card to service a T1.  It's fully configured and working like a champ except for 1 security issue I need to resolve.

I need to be able to telnet to the device via FastEthernet0 (from my LAN only).  I also need to be able to still dial-in to the AUX port (setup and working now).  And lastly I obviously still need Console Access.

What I do not want is for anyone to connect via Telnet via the Serial (WAN) interface.  In otherwords I need to connect to FastEthenet0 IP only and the source packet must be coming from my LAN, not the internet.

If this is not possilbe then please let me know and I will just disable line vty 0 4 all together.  Copy of my sho run below with some stuff left out for obvious reasons.

Thanks guys!  JFrederick29 was first so I gave more points to the first answer, however, ciscoml320 provided some clarification so I am splitting them up.
Quick follow up question.  Can I just get rid of vty 5 15 since there will never be more than 1 session at a time?  Or are some of the VTYs bound to different interfaces?
You can sure.  Simply remove the login option from it:

line vty 5 15
no login
also add this to prevent you from being locked out due to idle sessions

!
line vty 0 4
 exec-timeout 60 0
!
put this in perspective - i've been locked out of remote devices before which didn't have this configured (now all 400+ devices have it)...and i was able to clear them by using SNMP writes, a bit tedious....so save yourself some grief.
good call ciscoml320...thanks!
