Hmmm...it seels journalists are again speaking of something they don't know
I think they speak about the fact you can telnet into the modem, and there's
also a webserver builtin. With telnet you can reboot the modem, reset the
connection,etc..
BUT, you can't do that by the internet, you can only do that by the lan. And
there's of course a password....
Don't worry..
