Probably not a hoax - the Dynalink RTA020 will do this for
example, and its easy to get the default password for the Admin

To lock it off, you need to set virtual servers for port 23 and
port 80, typically to a non-existent internal IP such as
192.168.254.254. You should also change the admin passowrd :-))
