    It looks like the "Code Red" worm has the added side effect of crashing
    Cisco (675/678) DSL CPEs running any CBOS prior to 2.4.1. The GET it sends
    looking for IIS servers hardlocks any modem with the web management
    interface enabled.
    
    CBOS v2.4.2 is unaffected.  Also, turning off the web interface with 'set
    web disabled' also prevents the crashes.
