"public" and "private" are out-of-the-box default community strings
for read and read-write access almost any network equipment.
Get the private MIB for the Ascend MAX (now Lucent), and look at what you can
get ;-).
With the read-write comminity you can get, alter, wipe, the router config,
you can reboot it, create users, modify the routing table, etc...
I don't remeber if the MAX-1600 has tunneling capabilies.... if so, you
can create a tunnel to your own machine and...
Hope this helps,
