Default Re: connecting to a particular wireless router by command line ?

Sure. I do it all the time with telnet or SSH to Cisco 340/35/1200
wireless routers. Also Linksys WRT54G routers with Sveasoft
alternative firmware can do telnet and SSH.

If you have an aversion to graphical web browsers, you might try using
Lynx

http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/lynxport.htm
or one of the other text based web browsers. I haven't tried this for
quite a long time and have no clue how well it will work. There are
other text based browsers but I'm too lazy to list them.

However, by "particular" I assume that you already own a wireless
router and are embarrassed by the fact that you cannot connect to it
from an MSDOS or Linux shell command line. Some disclosure of what
you're tinkering with and what you're trying to accomplish would be
helpful.

Incidentally, if you insist on putting your question on the subject
line, please be advised that there are those that have news readers
that truncate the subject line after about 20 characters and/or do not
view the subject line while preparing the reply. If it's not too much
trouble, you might want to repeat the question in the body of the
message so I can see it.
