Interesting!  I wonder if mine had a utility for something like that on
the disks that I didn't bother to open that came with the modem....

In this case it sounds a lot like a DMZ kind of thing, right?  I see
DSL doing that a lot of the time.  Often you can also turn it off and
use it as a dumb ppp or such.  Other times, your stuck behind it and
may not even be able to forward ports.  

Or maybe it's something different, something I haven't seen.
