And not forgetting having routers on the end of Telewest lead lines (that I suspect are telewest managed routers) with dumb passwords, and an open web-based interface to exec-level 15 of the router. I was tempted to do a conf t/cr/interface FastEtherent0/0/cr/shutdown And the "engineer" was talking about the future 2Mbps cable, but saying the coax wouldn't handle it. He was shocked to hear that coax can carry 34Mbps without problems (I'm sure that MPEG2 video for the set-top box is >2Mbps anyway). (He was amazed that a Pentium 166 was able to speak TCP/IP let alone DHCP). Although if you employ a genius to install cable modems then it's gonna cost a fortune for a cable modem. -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam [at] dynamicinteraction.co.uk pgp http://search.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=adam%40dynamicinteraction.co.uk
