Where does a telnet  to such a set up lead you  to? The router or your
box? Once you  successfully log in using telnet  into the *router*, it
is not too  difficult (unless you are a real wizard)  to get into your
box. (who cares for the web config tool??)

I trust  my box because it  rung GNU/Linux and  I can harden it  to my
liking.  I do not trust the router  because I do not know what it runs
and have no idea about how to harden it.

Of course, I  can configure the set  up such that my m/c  is a client,
but then I have to harden both the box and the router, which is double
the job.

I am open to correction tho`.
