OK, the old router still works again. It does answer some requests. We are
finally talking.
Never did find out what the dorked ip addy was; but, I now have a new tool
filed away... :)
Did the rom0 file business. It does look like the reset took because the ip
addy and pw have been reset to their defaults! Success! A bit odd because
the ras level remains at v3.25. Not a big issue for now. Just happy that
this old router does not have to go visit the big red can! (yet)
Now if I can just get the brick to move to my subnet, I can use the http
interface to tweak it for my needs as a backup device.
The telnet/hyperterminal process was weird back in 1999; it is still weird
now. Amazed at how far these routers have come in the last so many years.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions. Greatly appreciated.

Rick,
Could not agree more. I did find the prints of the router screens
(telnet) from way back when and at the last f/w update the router saw
(v3.25). I can put it back, manually, if necessary.
Back when I was learning "router" via the List, dslreports forums,
netgear, and such, I collected every piece of documentation printed for
the rt-314. It is a big file folder.
I have started one now for the DLlink DGL-4300, but I doubt the file
folder will get very big! It has been replaced by the DGL-4500, and I now
read rumors about a DGL-5100 on the horizon. These very complex routers
are now just "commodity" boxes any more. Sad but I am getting used to it.
Yes, Hayes, so far I am very happy with the DGL-4300. I am still on the
learning curve and still looking for the site that has all the "neat"
settings for it. If it does not just burn up or die, I'll have it for
years to come.......... :)
IT IS ALL GOOD!!!!!!!!Sort of!!!!!!!!!
Best,
Duncan
