Infact the only thing thats really gonna happen by tweaking any of those
settings is a nasty call from telecom and a charge for returning the
M(whatevers) config to normal.

Subject: Re: Admin access for the M1122

I dunno how recently (or long ago) this issue has come up on the list, but
the mature members of the audience are quite likely to ignore this... If you
can find it out for yourself, all power to you, otherwise forget about it -
please.

There really isn't anything useful to a (l)user that admin does, the latest
version of firmware for the M11 (not -22) allowed user-admin to do all the
'tweaking' that you'd want like pin-holing and other stuff. The M1122 does
the same.

There aren't really any 'performance' per se tweaking controls for admin,
the additional access it grants is to the low level type-of-connection
settings, e.g. PPPoA / PPPoE / IPoA / Bridge etc., so when you start playing
with these you'll either lose service or spill junk traffic onto the network
(which Telecom will notice).

You're not going to get your connection speed to increase by playing with
_*any*_ of these settings!
