Huh? This is rather strange. It *should* be a plain text file ... o_O |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Would it require some expensive Cisco desktop application to be able to |
| 14 |
read/edit it off the machine?! |

Please try using your browser first to enable telnet: |

|

http://$ROUTER_IP/Hidden_telnet.htm |

WARNING! |

| 29 |
I'm not sure if this service will be firewalled on the Internet side of your |
| 30 |
network! I've heard stories where access is opened on the public network and |
| 31 |
is unprotected. Disconnect your router from the Internet before you try this. |

According to this document there should be a page where you can enable/disable |
| 35 |
IP services: |

Not sure if applicable to your router. |

I had a look and can't see a serial port on your machine, so minicom will not |
| 45 |
be of use in this case. |

Did you try this from the Internet, or from within your LAN? |

I can but sympathise with your frustration. They seem to have offered a |
| 68 |
dumbed down version of something here which is not readily recognisable as a |
| 69 |
Cisco machine. Perhaps all this additional functionality is only available |
| 70 |
for their professional grade platforms? |
