Ah, yes, I am talking about my DSL router prompt. (Now I know what to call it.) Hmm, I am trying to install the Cisco 678 Code Red fix. (I thought I already did this under Windows - before I blew M$ away and installed RH7.1) Perhaps if one changes OSs, one has to refix things(?). I tried your suggestion and this occured: [uak at wool uak]$ telnet 10.0.0.1 Trying 10.0.0.1... Connected to 10.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. Any other suggestions? TIA. uak On Sun, 21 Oct 2001 matthew at redroot.org wrote: > UMMM... are you talking about you DSL router prompt? You would just need > to telnet to the router.
