Unfortunately most of my routers are only accessible via remote > connection so 2 floppy booting is out of the question.

(a windows box can too ,) using f.e teraterm ssh Be carefull this is going to originate a rather religous thread, some on this list like telnet some don't ; ) I would say it depends on how safe your internal network is If there are more people on your network and you don't trust them completely, it is kind of a risk, as passwords are rather easy to catch. And somebody logging into your router with root permission is kind of sceary. They could easily change your firewall etc. Eric Wolzak ---Bering ---- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
