Interesting, thanks, I not a fan of Linksys anyway, I had their BEFCMU10 v2
cable modem, which has a serious bug that hangs all the time. Ever since,
I've had an aversion for their product line, esp. since they did nothing to
correct it. But not providing port mapping on a routner?! Wow, how much
effort would it have taken to add this feature, 4-5 lines of code?!
