[luau] "Clogged" Linksys router

[Mathisha]

I took telnet off my machine (paranoa I guess). I don't have a serial 
port but I'll try to telnet (once I get it installed). I wonder if the 
router is getting any sort of signal at all. The cable modem's PC light 
would not light up with the router knocked out. With the router in DHCP 
mode it made the modem think the router was a PC.  Which makes me wonder 
if the router is externally detecable.

The power cycling thing was the first thing I tried. Even left it 
unpluged for a day or two without success. Linksys annoyingly supports 
only M$ OSes :( I'm wondering how to get the firmware intalled if I 
can't connect to the router. Havn't messed with firmware embeded OS 
stuff before. 

Hope the router is not fried :(
