Well to be honest, I think the requirement of the password to have numbers
(or .'s) in it, is VERY annoying.

Though I am not running a full on network, I would prefere to be able to set
the passwords to what ever I feel fit to use.

MY ISP password is un-acceptable to netconnect, so I have to remember two
passwords.

(well, kind of)

My ISP password - for when ever I am at a remote place and my netconnect
one.

:(
