My point was that by default the plotter can be used as a gateway, most people
dont associate "security" with a plotter.  I would guess that for people who
dont know once the plotter is functional why read the rest of the manual.

What vendors should do is force a password to be set upon installation.

My favorite way of handling this is that remote management isn't enabled
until a password is set, ala Cisco routers.  Cisco seems to have missed that
on their Catalyst switches.
