[ale] Linksys DSL router (BEFSR11) How to allow access in

[James P. Kinney III]

Dig through the linksys site and get the docs on the cli interface. Also
the detailed user guide should have info on what is possible with this
device. Some "router" products  are really quite dumb and will by
default allow access to anything. Earthlink gets the routers first and
runs a config program to set them for the region they are being shipped
to. Be sure to document the original setup so you can fix it after you
break it ;)

Sometimes there is a builtin webserver and you can configure it trhough
a browser. Others require a telnet access and then a cli. Don't even
attempt the cli without documentation! That is how to guarantee it won't
work when you're done!!
