Minicom's your friend! That's the _only_ way I use to admin my 675.
I dunno having telnet and a 'web' access to the router's OS that's on the 
front line seems to be a great security risk, anyway.
Those are the first things I disabled. Any time I need to change something 
there, I grab my Cisco manual, ssh down to the firewall, and minicom into 
it from there.
I haven't been seeing any problems with any attacks, and I believe I have a 
fairly secured firewall just downwind from the 675. But I don't have any 
servers running.
And since I never really use that machine for anything else, it easy to 
spot any files/dirs changed or even accessed, since most of them have old 
modified times. heh- load average- 0  :)
