just for the record, its very simple to open ports yourself (without
regard of legal stuff). Effecient Networks has a pdf manual online,
which is as good as the one TDC doesnt bundle with the router .. in
short, you can find explanations for password override, and details
regard cabling for this (the console port is really a RS-232 using a
RJ45 cable)...
