A solution we have proposed here is to place console cables on all routers, disable telnet access to them, and connect the other end of the console cable to a Linux box which has nothing but sshd and minicom. If there are a lot of routers (such as in our case) a Livingston portmaster or similar device would help a lot. The Linux box need not be powerful; a 486 or Pentium Classic should be more than enough. This helps for older routers that have no support for SSH or other encryption. Most of the newer Cisco routers have support for SSH built in. -- Rafael R.
