BBLISA: Re: Linksys BEFSR81 and remote logins?

[se at panix.com (Scott Ehrlich)]

Hi Jerry et al:

Just before your message, I was able to figure out the port forwarding :)
I can now ssh into my Linux box :)

I also plan to set up sshd on my windows boxes and see if I can have
multiple paths for remote logins.

Regarding firmware, according to Linksys' page, their latest is 2.36, the
same version that is already on the box.

Anyone know different?

Thanks.

Scott
