I appreciate your time and effort.  From what I have read, AT&T does
not allow remote access to this router.  SSH is disabled by AT&T.

SSH times out, and telnet says connection refused.

When the bash bug Shellshock first came out was when I wanted to try
remote access, and see what version of bash it was using, or if it was
even using bash.

I'm not going to worry about it, I think Shellshock only affects
servers, and I don't have a server.

I did scan the router at grc.com, and all ports show stealth mode.
