Right now I have a router doing filtering.. I just received my
netscreen firewall due to the recommendation of the groups here.

1. How do I setup my router ? in term of access list ?

Do I let everyone in and let the firewall take care of things ?

2. How do I protect the router ? I want to let the firewall take care
of things but I dont want someone to attempt to telnet into the router
and try to hack it ?

I'm assuming I'll still keep some sort of access-list to prevent
people from telnet into it ?

3. Is there some sample config somewhere I can take a look at ?

Thanks.
