Does anyone know the default passwords for World Wide Packets 427 and 311v switches?

One should think the fact that there are default passwords at all should be a cause for alarm, in and of itself.

As much as they're a definite security risk, I can't imagine what other
option there is.  The closest I can come to a solution is to set a random
password and flash it using a front-panel LED using morse.  <grin>
