Hi Tim,

Now you mention it I remember that being the problem, and hence the need for
proxies. They effectively do the same as NAT for specific services.

I have a PC running linux too, but haven't yet got the modem recognised on
it. Why is it so damn complicated on Linux to set the port for an internal
modem, bar humbug. I'll stop now before this gets too OT.
Thanks for reminding me about NAT
