%-> the only thing i have found that is a little suspect is that the M10 is
%-> advertising the 172.x.x.x network (forget the exact range) via
%-> RIP to the
%-> internal ethernet, potentially this would open the possibility for a
%-> machine to be setup on the internal network that was set to learn the
%-> routes coming from the M10 and a local telecom person could play with
%-> your routing tables remotely. Personally i dont run RIP and this doesnt
%-> bother me overtly, tho it irks me a little to know that via this telecom
%-> could potentially have access to any of the machines on your internal
%-> lan.

I've been wondering about the RIP too... why is Telecom doing it? Suppose I
should turn it off or block it to my LAN.
