Sean,

I'm hoping that my friend got the router password from the technician, but if he 
didn't I guess we can't go the route of telnet'ing in or using the serial port, 
no?

I think the Cisco 678 has only one Ethernet output and so my friend wouldn't be 
able to plug in a 2nd computer to the router.  If he put a 2nd network card in 
his computer and connected to that with a 2nd computer, would an externally 
usable ip address show up in the logs?  Wouldn't he need the ip address already 
in order to make the connection in the first place?  I guess I'm not sure what 
you suggested.
