My modem does support telnet and I have telnet'ed in but I could not find much info on the available commands or how I can reconfigure it once connected via telnet and was concerned I might brick it if I did the wrong thing. So If anyone has some tips, they would be most welcome. I have searched thru all the manuals but they make nil reference to telnet. Cheers Justin > > Does your modem use telnet?
