Also, some of them have certain port that are always open. IIRC, one of
them always had tftp up. I found the info on some site that was doing a

BTW - I found the link:
http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/networking/cable_xdsl_routers_2/5.htm
Don't have time to re-read it and correct my possibly incorrect
assumptions...
HTH,
