Sounds on topic enough to me, you are trying to talk to a Linux box afterall ;)
I could configure using telnet, I'm quite happy to do that, but it's hardly secure over the internet. I suppose I can set it so that it's only accessible from specific IP addresses which might be OK.
You talked about ssh earlier today... why can't you ssh to your home pc and then use a text browser to configure the router or use X forwarding to the host you launch ssh on and a graphical browser if you are that way inclined? (and FWIW I don't think I have ever actually needed to change the configuration on my ADSL router when I have not actually been at home, tbh the actual adsl and network part perhaps only gets fiddled with very infrequently).
