    Hello again,
    
    A little update: just checked an ASCII dump of the FMS-II Superstack Hub
    firmware (3Com's P/N 3c16630a) looking for undocumented username/password
    strings and didn't find any... that doen't mean that there isn't one, through.
    
    BTW: Don't you love it when your trusty vendor sticks security backdoors
    in their products? :-(   I used to recomend 3Com products to my clients
    but now I'm starting to have second thoughts...
