speak freely via a router

[Erik Heil]

Some routers actually have a telnet interface, so we don't even have to deal
with the Web-based stuff.  Hmmm, Xyxel makes them, but they're DSL
modems/bridges.  Cisco also does, but unless you get them on EBay, forget
about it, they're expensive for what you want them to do.  Granted they
provide nice features.

> I have an SMC Barricade that provides me 802.11b plus 3 100Mbps ethernet
jackes. It does NAT do a degree as well. I have it serving 192.168.177.0 on
wireless and 192.168.77.0 on the wired ports. Some machines have static IPs,
and others are assigned via DHCP all of which this router manages quite
well. I configure everything using Lynx. I can do everything except make the
changes take effect with Lynx. Fortunately, the changes take effect by
simply power cycling the router. In other words, I can save my changes to
the router's memory, I just can't power cycle it from Lynx. I have to power
cycle by hand.
