Not that I've done it, but you can use Kerberos to remotely manage a Cisco, giving you an encrypted telnet. In fact, does anyone have any pointers about how?

"This" referring to 'noc(a)att.net' and not 'nanog(a)merit.edu'. I think it was plain from his message ("I need to contact them" instead of "I need to contact you", etc) that he understood that 'nanog(a)merit.edu' isn't the address for AT&Ts NOC. It's not that I don't appreciate good flames, I just like them to be properly directed. SFTS.
