that is the source address - not the external address 0/0 means the whole internet
has access.  You might want to limit access to the network you are on when you
access  weblet

There was a post here recently from someone who got libz.lrp and sshd.lrp to fit on
a single floppy.  He stripped the pretty version of weblet and used one without
graphics if I remember correctly.  Unfortunately the search feature does not appear
to work on the list so I can't find the message.  You could also use the old
version of sshd which is vulnerable to "man in the middle" but takes a lot less
floppy space.

The second thing you can do is to add a second floppy to the router.  Now with fd0
and fd1 you have at least 2.88 megs depending on the format you use.  Dachstein
supports two floppies with only minor configuration changes to tell it look on both
diskettes when loading the lrps at boot.

I would not recommend teleneting into your router.  Anyone along the path can sniff
anything you say including the password.
