Mine is a Barricade 7401BRA - much more primitive, I think. It does call it 'port forwarding' but can only open one port at a time, with a maximum of 20, so a tcp and udp on one port uses two. I have some ports open for GnomeMeeting so everything's used up. It's a real PITA.
I'm saving your info in case we decide to upgrade. It's good to know that one works pretty well as we would like it to. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 (http://counter.li.org/) Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet? Mandrake at all levels
