This may not be your router at all... RedHat 7.3 comes with a default firewall configuration. Even after you install sshd, it doesn't allow connections on port 22. Use the setup utility to look at your firewall settings (they are probably at High or Medium security) and make sure that in the "Extra ports" field port 22 is available. > Well I've solved my DSL/Linux issue thanks to a very kind TCLUG member. > > > I now have a Cisco 678 and Red Hat 7.3 up and running.
